That stretch of East Maple has been under construction since late spring, when the city began replacing aging underground water and sewer pipes between Adams and Eton.
According to Cousino, the city expects to wrap up construction on East Maple in mid-September. Cousino said the engineering department isn't planning on closing the entire road outside of Saturday.

However, Cousino said as construction continues, that stretch of East Maple will occasionally be reduced to one lane. The city will make an announcement before shutting down any lanes.
