North Platte motorists should plan for traffic changes beginning Tuesday, July 21, as a portion of East Philip Avenue will close for a sewer infrastructure project.
According to the City of North Platte Sewer Department, Midlands Contracting will close East Philip Avenue between Cottonwood Street and Bryan Avenue to replace a manhole. The closure will remain in effect until the project is completed.
During construction, there will be no through traffic on East Philip Avenue between Eastman Avenue and Bryan Avenue. Drivers should expect detours and are encouraged to follow all posted signage to navigate around the work zone.
City officials are asking motorists to slow down, use caution near the construction area, and watch for workers and equipment to help ensure everyone's safety.
The North Platte Sewer Department thanked residents and motorists for their patience and cooperation as crews complete the project as safely and efficiently as possible.
Anyone with questions about the project can contact the City of North Platte Sewer Department at 308-535-6740.
