Work begins on next section of Ethel St.

Ethel Street between Rayner and Rose avenues will be closed starting Wednesday for the next phase of the street’s overhaul.

Car lanes have been narrowed and multi-use pathways added to other portions of Ethel.

The project is expected to continue until June.

Work on the $2.9-million project began in the fall with crews completing underground utility work between Raymer and Morrison avenues.

Spring construction will include underground utility work from Morrison to Rose avenues and construction of the bike and pedestrian pathway from Rose to Raymer avenues, along with other roadside improvements.
