- This lane closure is due to a new project that is adjacent to SkyVue
- Due to such close proximity and zero laydown area, the City awarded a permit to close off the farthest left driving lane to allow the project team for the hotel to have space to store necessary equipment and materials
- The lane is, and will remain closed from now – February of 2017
- However, only half of the length of the lane between Craft and Halket (the portion in front of hotel project site – to – Halket, or, second 1/2 of block) will remain closed. The portion from Craft to the hotel site (approx. first 1/2 of the block) will re-open when SkyVue is finished later this year
- This will remain closed for the remainder of the SkyVue project schedule
- The parking lane will remain closed through the duration of the hotel project, February 2017. But this is the same as the driving lane – only the portion in front of the hotel – to – Halket will be closed
– May 22
