Starting in June, construction crews will begin revitalizing a long-neglected and congested strip of North High Street. Construction is proposed to be completed in the fall of 2009.
The bulk of the construction will take place on High Street from Lane Avenue up to Arcadia Avenue, including all side streets up to the first alley, Dodridge Street to Neil Avenue and north on Neil to Glen Echo Ravine. Hudson Street work extends from Neil to East Avenue.
It will bring new sidewalks, traffic lights, the removal of overhead electric lines and several other street improvements to the area. The intersection of Hudson and High Street will also be widened during the construction, adding additional turn lanes on Hudson Street to bring about a smoother traffic flow in the congested area, Webster said.
