This work is scheduled to be completed by Friday, September 13. West South Street from South First to SW Fifth streets will be closed for bridge maintenance. This work is scheduled to be completed by Monday, September 16. The recommended detour is Park Boulevard to West Van Dorn Street to South Folsom Street.
