Parts of 19th Street and Haskell Avenue will be closed to motorists Thursday and Friday for repaving projects.
Crews, weather permitting, are scheduled to pave 19th Street from Barker Avenue to Haskell Avenue from 2 a.m. to approximately 9 a.m. on Thursday. The stretch of road will be closed to through traffic.
On Friday, contractors will pave Haskell Avenue from 12th Street to 15th Street from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m., closing the road to through traffic.
The projects also will cause changes to public transit routes. The T’s No. 2 route will not provide service on New Jersey Street, 15th Street, Barker Avenue, 19th Street, Moodie Road and 20th Street during the 19th Street repaving project.
During the Haskell Avenue project, several changes will be made to bus route No. 1.
