Construction Activities

East and Westbound Katella Avenue

Crews have shifted pedestrian access to westbound Katella Avenue to allow crews to conduct roadway improvements on eastbound Katella Avenue. This work includes excavating the roadway, preparing the ground, and adding a foundation layer in preparation for paving. The eastbound sidewalk will be closed to pedestrians during this work. Pedestrians will need to cross at Walnut Street to access the westbound Katella Avenue sidewalk.

This work may be loud. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen operational issues.
