KDOT has announced that a pavement rehabilitation project on Juliette Avenue in Manhattan is scheduled to begin on Monday, Feb. 24. The project will remove the existing pavement from Poyntz Avenue to Pierre Street and replace with brick surface; and also includes improvements to storm drainage, sidewalks and sideroad tie-ins in the area.
In Phase 1, Juliette Avenue will be fully closed from Poyntz Avenue to Pierre Street while the area between Poyntz Avenue and the Houston/Pierre streets alley is completed. Houston Street will also be closed at the intersection of Juliette Avenue.
A marked detour will direct traffic around the closure area via Poyntz Avenue, 6th Street and Pierre Street. Traffic coming from the west will utilize 8th Street rather than Juliette Avenue. This phase is expected to be complete by mid-May.
In Phase 2, Juliette Avenue will be fully closed from the alley to just south of Pierre Street, while the area is completed. Pierre Street will also be closed at the Juliette Avenue intersection.
Bayer Construction Co., of Manhattan, is the prime contractor on the $1.2 million project, which is expected to be fully complete in early September
