Construction Project Will Impact W. Maxwell Starting Monday

W. Maxwell Ave. will close between N. Walnut St. and N.

Elm St. from August 25 to September 19 for traffic signal upgrades, part of a broader initiative to enhance bike and pedestrian infrastructure. This project includes new sidewalks, bike lanes, and improved crosswalks to connect the West Central Neighborhood with AM Cannon Park and the Centennial Trail. Motorists can expect lane reductions and detours, while local access will remain during non-working hours. Northbound Maple St.

and southbound Ash St. will stay open at intersections with Maxwell Ave. The Washington State Pedestrian/Bike Program and other funding sources support this construction effort. Pedestrians may encounter sidewalk detours, and it's essential for drivers to proceed with caution. Local businesses impacted by the work require community support during this period.

Detailed obstruction information is available on the city's construction webpage.
