An Edgewood street will be closed for two months.
According to a Facebook post from the city of Edgewood, 48th Street will be closed to through traffic between 122nd Avenue East and 127th Avenue East starting on Monday, April 27.
The post called it a “60-Day Road Closure.”
Drivers will be able to use a detour route by using 127th Avenue East, going through Caldwell Road and then to 122nd Avenue East.
Chuck Hendrickson, the city’s public works director, told The News Tribune the closure is happening to allow for repairs to the road.
“We’re rebuilding the roadway, concrete panel road, and the panel has shifted, [causing] a crack up through the asphalt overlay,” Hendrickson said.
Hendrickson said the work will cost about $672,000 and comes from a state preservation grant.
In the post, the city urged drivers to be careful while the repairs are happening.
“Please plan ahead and drive safely,” the post said.
