Pavement repairs will close a section of Mount Avenue staring Monday, April 15 to remove degraded asphalt and replace it with new material.
The city's Public Works and Mobility Department announced Friday that the project will likely be finished by April 23, but completion of work is subject to good weather.
The work will take place between Park Street and Higgins Avenue. Detour routes will be established, Deputy Director of Streets Brian Hensel said.
The streets division also asked residents along Mount Avenue to not park their vehicles on the street from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Local access to the area will be available.
A release from the city said the repair project helps preserve the street infrastructure by sealing areas where water could get under the roadway surface.

"Water damages the street below the surface, especially in the winter when the water goes through freeze and thaw phases, causing the asphalt to break up and results in potholes and other damage to the street," the release said.
Beckwith Avenue is also closed from Gerald Avenue to Arthur Avenue for a water main replacement. The Higgins Avenue roundabout by Grizzly Grocery will remain open while work takes place to the west and east.
