Market Boulevard is closed from Market Street South to West 79th Street, near the railroad tracks, until mid-September. Access along Market Boulevard will remain available from the north, from 78th Street to the Wendy’s and Jimmy John’s area, and from the south, from Highway 5 to West 79th Street.

Phase 1 paving and utility work is substantially complete and those areas are open to traffic. One area of Phase 1 that didn't get done is between Jimmy John’s and Wendy’s, which was delayed because of underground utility conflicts. This area will now be completed during Phase 3, which begins in mid-September.

Phase 2 includes underground utility work near the railroad tracks, construction of the downtown water reuse pump station and road widening at the railroad crossing.
