South Elwood Avenue at West 71st Street South to Close for a Day as Part of Private Infrastructure Widening Project
9/3/2025
Beginning on Thursday, September 4, South Elwood Avenue at West 71st Street South will be closed to traffic as part of a private infrastructure widening project that was announced last year.
The closure, which runs along South Elwood Avenue from West 71st Street South towards W. 73rd Street, is expected to last for one day as crews stripe the pavement.
The project includes widening the intersection to three lanes, storm sewer and channel construction, traffic signal replacements, new sidewalks and ramps, and new signage and striping.
The project is expected to be complete by early fall, weather permitting. Drivers are encouraged to follow posted detour signs and use caution when travelling through the area.
