If you're cruising down Meridian Way this week, expect to see some crew activity but not much in the way of traffic hiccups. City workers have rolled up their sleeves as of yesterday, April 7, to begin repairs on the Meridian Way South Canal, according to a recent city update. If you live or work in the area, breathe easy – the bulk of the construction should steer clear of disrupting street traffic flow.
For anyone keeping a close eye on the calendar, these canal repairs come with a light at the end of the tunnel: two weeks, the city says, and they should be wrapped up. The marked section of the canal (you can spot it in red on the city's map if you're curious for a peek), is the focus of the project. It seems that, the crews are committed to minimizing the impact on local hustle and bustle.
Those commuting through Meridian Way can still expect the daily grind to go undisturbed. The city acknowledges the importance of keeping the streets as open as possible and has planned their canal work to align with that commitment. Even so, it might not hurt to keep an eye out for the odd detour or the stray piece of machinery on your daily commute.
