The Dalles Public Works will be doing road work next week on West 6th between Chenowith and Mt. Hood streets.  According to the Public Works Department, the westbound lanes of West 6th between those streets will be closed during work hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. both October 14 & 15, and then the eastbound lanes will be closed on October 16 & 17.  Motorists, bicycles and pedestrians are asked to use detours around the work zone during work hours.  The street will be reopened to the traveling public each evening.  Walk up business access will be open during construction.  For safety reasons, parking on West 6th Street between Chenowith Street and Mt. Hood Street will not be allowed until the project is complete.  The Public Works Department says the purpose of this project is to grind out the wheel ruts and replace about 500 feet of pavement in each lane.
