DIXON A portion of River Road is expected to close on Wednesday and remain closed for 4 to 6 weeks.

The road, from Ottawa Avenue to Bunnys Bait Shop, will be closed for sewer and water work.

The work should be among the last elements of the downtown streetscape project, which is still on pace to finish in November, Commissioner Jeff Kuhn said.

Here is a summary of other work planned for streetscape work next week:

On First Street, west of Peoria Avenue, work will continue on sidewalks, pavers and lighting installations. Daytime closures of the south side of the street might occur.

On Peoria Avenue, between River and First streets, the east side of the street will be closed for work on sidewalk, electrical, pavements, and curb and gutter. The west side of the street will remain open for detoured traffic.

On Ottawa Avenue, between First and River streets, curb and gutter installation will start Wednesday, followed by sidewalk work. New foundations for light poles will also be installed. Also, new asphalt pavement will be placed in the parking lot off Ottawa Avenue at the end of the week. The lot is expected to be open the next week.
