Updates on construction will be posted here and sent out to our Lowry Avenue email list which you can sign up for at the bottom of this page to receive the most recent construction and design information.
Phase 1 construction
Construction schedule for Phase 1 of Lowry Avenue between:
- 2024: Washington Street to Central Avenue (completed)
- 2025: Central Avenue to Johnson Street (full closure)
Construction between Washington Street and Central Avenue is complete and the road has fully reopened to traffic. Work on Lowry Avenue will resume next spring as we work to reconstruct the corridor between Central Avenue and Johnson Street.
Phase 1 project layout
When complete, this section of Lowry Avenue will feature:
- A shared-use path along the northern side of the corridor for people walking, biking and rolling
- A repaved road with a three-lane design, including one lane of traffic in each direction and a center turn lane
- Wider boulevards that provide more space between traffic and people walking or rolling
- Center medians at Madison, Quincy and Fillmore streets
- New signals including improved crossings with pedestrian-activated flashing beacons at Washington and Fillmore street intersections to help people walking and rolling
