NW/N 85TH STREET ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Eastbound detours on N/NW 85th St in Greenwood end Tuesday; Greenwood
Ave between 73rd & 80th gets messy this week. Crews still have some work to do on sidewalks, curb replacements and pavement markings, so there will continue to be intermittent temporary closures in places.
On Thursday and Friday, 9th and 12th avenues northwest at NW 85th Street will be closed for asphalt replacement, weather permitting.
