City of Bloomington to begin two-week street resurfacing project on November 16

BLOOMINGTON – The City of Bloomington will begin approximately two weeks of pavement repairs and resurfacing on portions of Kirkwood Avenue, Rogers Street, Grimes Lane, and Patterson Drive on Monday, Nov. 16, to improve roadway conditions. The project will include a three-day closure of a section of Patterson Drive, while work on the remaining streets will involve temporary lane restrictions.

Patterson Drive will be fully closed between Second and Third Streets from Monday, Nov. 16, through Wednesday, Nov. 18, for full-depth pavement repairs. This three-day closure applies only to that section of Patterson Drive and will allow crews to complete the repairs before the roadway is resurfaced.

Milling and paving operations will also begin Nov. 16 and continue for approximately two weeks across the project area. Work will begin on Kirkwood Avenue between Maple and Rogers streets, followed by Rogers Street between Second and Third streets, then Rogers Street between First Street and Patterson Drive. Crews will finish along Grimes Lane and Patterson Drive, from Walnut Street to Third Street.

During this phase, motorists should expect temporary lane restrictions, flagging operations and delays as crews move between streets. The two-week timeline applies to the overall resurfacing project, not the Patterson Drive closure. Weather delays could extend work past Thanksgiving week.

The City has coordinated with Bloomington Transit and Monroe County Community School Corporation regarding the construction schedule.
