The Dalles Public Works says early next week a contractor will be doing asphalt maintenance on 2nd Street in the downtown area.  Work is scheduled this coming Monday and Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.  On Monday, the north lane and parking on the north side of 2nd St. will be closed throughout the day.  Intersections will be closed on the north side of the street all day.  Then on Tuesday, the south lane and parking on the south side of 2nd St. will be closed throughout the day.  Intersections will be closed on the south side of the street all day.  Motor vehicles and bicyclists will be detoured to adjacent side streets.  While 2nd Street will remain open to traffic throughout the project, use of alternate routes is encouraged.  Pedestrian and sidewalk access to downtown businesses will 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 placed on the curb 48 hours before the project moves into each work area.
