Oak Street and vehicle access to city building parking lot to be closed to relocate sewer

Historic façade of old post office preserved.

In order to relocate a combined sewer, in preparation of the construction of the new City Building, Oak Street will be closed and vehicle access to the City Administration Building Parking Lot will be blocked from June 7 to June 20.

Those visiting the City Administration Building should park in the north section of the Wood County Library’s parking lot or in Public Parking Lot #4. Pedestrian access to the City Administration Building will be maintained via the crosswalk/sidewalk at Oak and Church. Concrete barriers will be placed along the sidewalk for safety.

As the work progresses, the Church Street and West Oak Street intersection will be closed to through traffic for a few days within the June 7–20 timeframe. A lane closure on Main Street will also be necessary.

The timeframe of this closure is dependent on weather and progress of work. Crews will be working 10-hour days and Saturdays to complete this portion of the project as quickly and efficiently as possible.
