Work begins this week on the reconstruction of North Bassett Street between West Gorham Street/University Avenue and West Dayton Street. On Monday, July 3, InterCon Construction will begin installing underground Madison Gas and Electric utilities in the 300 block of North Bassett Street between West Gorham Street/University Avenue and West Johnson Street. One lane of traffic will be maintained on North Bassett Street until Monday, July 10.

On Monday, July 10, R.G. Huston Company will close the 300 block of North Bassett Street between West Gorham Street/University Avenue and West Johnson Street. This closure will last until the project completion, expected in late October.

Also, starting at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, July 10, InterCon Construction will close lanes on West Johnson Street at North Bassett Street to continue underground utility construction. One lane will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Two lanes will be open from 3:30 p.m. thru overnight. Traffic delays on West Johnson Street are expected from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Starting Monday, July 17, R.G. Huston Company will close the 200 block of North Bassett Street between West Johnson Street and West Dayton Street. This closure will last until late October.

The intersection of North Bassett Street and West Dayton Street may be closed during off-peak travel times between 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Lane closures will also be needed later this month on West Gorham Street and University Avenue at North Bassett Street in order to install sanitary sewer and traffic signals at the intersection.
