The post does not say the reason for the closure. The News Tribune reached out to Kelie Kahler, spokesperson for the city of Lakewood, as well as the city’s public works department, to ask why the closure is happening and how much the work will cost. The News Tribune did not receive an immediate response.

“Access to the east driveway at City Hall will be closed during these times. Alternate routes are available via 112th St. SW and 100th St. SW,” the post said. “Please allow extra travel time.”
