Two streets to be shut down

The city will be closing two streets temporarily this week to finish on-going construction.

Part of West Washington Street will be closed Tuesday from 8 a.m. to noon, according to a news release from the Service-Safety department. Columbia Gas of Ohio will be working on the 100-block of the street.

Motorists will be directed to South Lancaster Street, according to the release.

On Wednesday, the West Union Street Bridge will be closed from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to another news release from the Service-Safety department. Workers will be pouring a concrete deck on the final part of the construction.

The bridge work is almost complete, and the bridge should be open for two-way traffic sometime next month.
