Parking lots on East 1st St. will remain open and accessible by alternate routes. Pedestrian and sidewalk access will remain open through the duration of this work. Work hours are from 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on each scheduled work day. The street will remain closed throughout the night and on the weekends.
