Paving will start soon on Main Avenue project

The Main Avenue Bicycle and Pedestrian improvement project is nearing completion.

According to City of Sisters Public Works Director Paul Bertagna, the landscape contractor will be installing the final landscape elements the week of June 11-15.

Main Avenue will then receive an asphalt seal coat prior to the permanent pavement markings being installed from Pine Street to Larch Street on Sunday, June 17 and Monday, June 18, weather permitting.

"Block closures will be in effect during the seal coat process for six to seven hours to allow for curing," Bertagna reported.

Back-in parking and bike lane pavement markings will be installed starting Sunday, June 17, with an estimated completion time of three days. Short-duration parking closures will be in effect during this time. All businesses on Main Avenue, Pine Street and Larch Street will be open during construction with temporary pedestrian facilities in place within the construction areas.
