Van Buren Street Closure Update

Due to some unforeseen circumstances,  the Contractor has now delayed the closure of the Van Buren Street intersection on 48th Avenue until first thing in the morning on Monday, September 16, 2024. This closure is a hard date and will not change from this point forward. As a reminder, please follow the below detour route for when Van Buren Street is closed.

Unity Christian: beginning before school on Monday, September 16, access to Unity Christian will only be able to be from the 48th Avenue/Port Sheldon Street intersection (see the detour photo below). Unity will only be able to use the 48th Avenue/Port Sheldon Street intersection for getting to/leaving Unity until late October 2024, when Dean’s anticipates completing construction for the year (and returning back again in late May 2024).

As a reminder, police officers will continue to be present to keep the construction site safe from traffic trying to use Van Buren Street and/or 48th Avenue north of Van Buren Street and south of Unity Christian High School.
