Update: North Avenue road closure, sewer work delayed in Fresno for now
UPDATE: The city delayed construction scheduled for the North Avenue sewer main rehabilitation project “due to unforeseen delays in material delivery and to avoid construction-related closures during the holiday season,” the communications department told media Friday. An updated schedule will be provided at a later time.

The closure will be in place 24/7 for sewer main rehabilitation beginning Nov. 2 and is expected to continue through Nov. 20. Traffic will detour to Central Avenue. Additional closures will follow as construction progresses, and driver should expect delays in the area, the city said in a press release Thursday. Drivers traveling on southbound Highway 99 are recommended by the city to use Jensen or Central Avenue for destinations east of Highway 99.
