After assessing what was causing settlement of the roadway at the intersection of North 14th Street and Erie Avenue in Sheboygan, the Department of Public Works has announced its plans to effect repairs to the storm sewer and pavement.
The Department’s announcement on Friday stated that repairs will begin Monday, January 9th, and require several lane closures and detours.
Northbound Traffic on 14th Street:
No through traffic or left turns will be allowed. All traffic approaching Erie Avenue northbound on 14th Street will be detoured eastbound on Erie Avenue. After going eastbound on Erie, the detour will follow 13th Street northbound to Superior Avenue, then Westbound on Superior Avenue where traffic can continue northbound on 14th Street. Those normally turning left (westbound) onto Erie Avenue will be detoured onto westbound New Jersey Avenue, and then north onto South Taylor Drive.
Southbound Traffic on 14th Street:
No left turns are allowed at 14th and Erie. Those wishing to go eastbound on Erie Avenue will be detoured eastbound (left) onto Superior Avenue, then south on North 13th Street to Erie Avenue. Those wishing to continue southbound from 14th and Erie will need to go west on Superior to southbound 17th Street, then east on Erie Avenue to the intersection where right turns only are allowed (no through traffic).
Eastbound Traffic on Erie Avenue: No through traffic or left turns will be allowed at the intersection. Instead, eastbound traffic on Erie Avenue will be routed north on North 17th Street, east on Superior Avenue, then south on North 13th Street. Those accustomed to turning left onto 14th at Erie will instead go north on 17th Street, then east on Superior Avenue.
Westbound Traffic on Erie Avenue: No through traffic, left or right turns will be allowed at the intersection. Those destined for areas west of the intersection will be routed north on North 13th Street, west on Superior Avenue, then south on North 17th Street. For those usually turning either east or west onto 14th Street at the intersection will need to follow 13th Street northbound to Superior Avenue.
The DPW anticipates that repairs will be completed by Wednesday, January 18th, however all depends upon the weather and schedules are subject to change. The DPW also advises people to check the DPW website (www.sheboygandpw.com), Twitter and Facebook pages for updates, and to slow down and use caution in construction zones.
