Harrison Avenue, Tyler Avenue, Tyler Ct, Belmore Lane east of Van Buren Avenue

The streets east of Van Buren Avenue will not begin until spring 2026. Several factors contributed to the extended timeline, including the pace of utility work, challenging soil conditions, and weather delays. Crews remain on-site and are committed to completing the remaining work as quickly as possible.

We understand that extending construction to 2026 is an inconvenience and sincerely appreciate the patience of residents in the project area.
