The Dalles Public Works on Monday started asphalt maintenance work on West 10th Street from Cherry Heights to Walnut that should continue over the next two weeks.  Work will progress from west to east, and is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday both weeks.  Lane closures will be in effect on portions of West 10th each day.  Intersections, business and residential access will be partially closed all day in each work area and opened to all motor vehicle traffic at the end of the day.  Motor vehicles and bicyclists will be detoured to adjacent side streets.  While West 10th will remain open to traffic throughout the project, use of alternate routes is encouraged.  Pedestrian and sidewalk access to businesses and residences remain open through the duration of this work.  No parking will be allowed within the daily work areas due to heavy equipment use.   No parking signs will be place on the curb 48 hours before the project moves into each work area.
