As part of the East William Street widening project, East William Street will close to traffic Saturday, July 13, between Lake Street and the Point, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

During Saturday’s activities, traffic will be detoured using Central Avenue and Lake Street, and residents with driveway access to William Street should park their vehicles on a side street.

Businesses in the construction area will be open during the work. Access to businesses near Potter Street and Frank Street will be maintained from the Lake Street/William Street intersection. Access to ODOT, Stop-N-Go Storage and the City Public Works facility will be available via Foley Street.

Crews are relocating a water line. This temporary closure will allow the contractor to make significant progress without jeopardizing the safety of those working near the travel lane.
