Work on the Charleston-Maryland Parkway Storm Drain project will require a temporary six-day closure to through traffic of the intersection of Charleston and Eastern Avenue starting at 9 p.m. Wednesday until 5 a.m. Monday.

Installation will continue with crews working around the clock until completed. Business access will remain open.

During the work to install reinforced concrete box storm drain in Charleston,

·  Northbound Eastern will be detoured to eastbound Charleston;

·  Southbound Eastern will be detoured to westbound Charleston;

·  Eastbound Charleston will be detoured to southbound Eastern, then eastbound Sahara Avenue; and

·  Westbound Charleston will be detoured to Fremont Street and then to southbound Eastern.

The Charleston-Maryland Storm Drain Project roadwork began in October 2021 and is expected to be complete by January 2024.
