Lincoln road closures begin for pavement repair

Beginning at 6:30 a.m. Monday, July 8, portions of “R” Street between 46th and 50th streets will be closed periodically through Friday, July 12, for asphalt repairs. 

48th Street traffic will remain open. 

Digital signs will alert traffic to upcoming work and closures. 

Drivers are encouraged to seek an alternate route.  Access to businesses and residences will be maintained.

Also, beginning at 8 a.m. on Monday, July 8, Northwest 48th Street between West Craw Street and West Fletcher Avenue will be closed for pavement repair through August 2. 

Digital signs will alert traffic to upcoming work. 

Motorists will be detoured onto West Mathis Street, Northwest 38th Street and Airport Road to Highway 34.  Access to local businesses and residences will be maintained.

This project is part of the arterial streets rehabilitation program to improve and extend the life of the street by milling the existing surface and overlaying with new asphalt.
