Beginning 8 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 20, 17th Street will be closed for three days from St. Francis to Mosley for adjustment of a railroad crossing. The work is part of the City’s downtown Central Railroad Corridor Project that includes new railroad bridges at First, Second, Central, Murdock, and 13th streets, plus improvements at Douglas Avenue Bridge.
Work on the $105 million Central Corridor began in April 2005 and will be completed in autumn 2009. The project improves downtown traffic flow and access to essential facilities such as the Via Christi Medical Center.
