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.
