College Ave. lanes, block of North St. to close Nov. 11-12

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - On Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 11-12, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. the intersection of N. College Avenue and E. North Street will be milled and paved one lane at a time. Traffic on College will continue in both directions with lanes being merged around construction.

Also during this time, a one-block section of North - from College to N. Washington Avenue - will be closed to traffic for milling and paving.

Eastbound traffic on North approaching the intersection with College will be detoured north onto N. Woolsey Avenue and east on W. Sycamore Street; westbound traffic will be detoured north onto Washington and west on E. Oakwood Street.

The work on North was previously announced to take place Nov. 4-6; however, the construction dates were pushed back due to inclement weather.

The work being done is a continuation of the North Street Corridor project, which will bring much needed sidewalk and street improvements to one of Fayetteville's most important east-west corridors.

Earlier this year, as part of phase one of this project, crews installed a dedicated southbound turning lane from North onto College along with a crosswalk and new traffic signals.

Other phases of the North Street Corridor project will include improvements from N. Garland Avenue to N. Gregg Avenue and improvements from College to N. Mission Avenue These improvements will include sidewalks, shared-use paved trails, trees, lighting and intersection improvements.

The North Street Corridor project is funded by the Street Improvement Bond approved by Fayetteville residents in 2019. To learn more about this project, go to: https://www.fayetteville-ar.gov/3589/North-Street-Corridor.
