Traffic Advisory: Outside Phase Construction Begins Between 12th and 11th Streets for Broad Street Improvement Project
Beginning August 10, crews will begin the outside phase of construction on Broad Street between 12th Street and 11th Street, on the left side of the project corridor.
Parking Changes
- Outside parking will be removed in this section to accommodate new sidewalk and curb alignment construction activities.
- Inside parking will remain open for use throughout construction.
Pedestrian Access
Construction in this section will be divided into two phases to help maintain access for businesses and pedestrians:
- Phase 1 — Construction activities
- Phase 2 — Pedestrian access
This approach will allow pedestrians to maintain access to sidewalks in front of businesses while work is underway. Pedestrians will be able to enter Phase 2 areas closest to the buildings/businesses only at the intersection crosswalks.
A representative from the City of Augusta and the contractor will visit each business individually to coordinate the most appropriate time to remove and replace the concrete in front of each location.
Anticipated Construction Activities
- Removal of existing curb, sidewalk, and asphalt
- Upgrades to existing water and sewer utilities
- Drainage system improvements
- Landscaping installation
- Sidewalk, lighting, and hardscape installations
The City of Augusta appreciates the public’s continued patience and cooperation as these improvements move forward.
Motorists, pedestrians, and business owners are encouraged to remain alert near active work zones and follow posted signage for safety.
