LANE CLOSURES - 5th Ave S & S 32nd St
Weather permitting, beginning Monday, May 5th, 2025, for approximately 1 month, water main construction will impact traffic at the intersection of 5th Ave S & S 32nd St. Beginning Monday, the right lane of eastbound traffic on 5th Ave S will be closed along with the left turn lane for northbound traffic on S 32nd St. This will allow Rasch Construction to complete the first phase of work in the intersection.

Additional updates will be provided as traffic control changes. Motorists are urged to use an alternate route. Please be alert, reduce speed, and use caution near this area.
