Broadway's northbound closing extends past South Avenue
Toledo’s waterline project along Broadway expanded past South Avenue late last week. The northbound lanes and one of two southbound lanes now are closed between Newberry Street and Walbridge Avenue. Through traffic is detoured at Harvard Circle, and now the first through street back from the Anthony Wayne Trail is Western Avenue. South Avenue may intermittently be closed at Broadway as the project advances. City officials said in announcing the longer closing that the current work phase runs through mid-June. A bridge replacement project at the Norfolk Southern railroad yard in South Toledo will require lane closures on Fearing Boulevard for six months starting Monday between Airline and Hill avenues.

The best alternative route for most traffic is Byrne Road, while Hawley Street is the first way to cross the tracks east of Fearing.
