URBANA - Two stretches of Urbana streets are scheduled to close from 7 a.m. Monday, Oct. 19, to 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23, according to news releases from the city's Public Works Department.

West Pennsylvania Avenue will be closed to through traffic between South Busey Avenue and South Orchard Street while D & S Sewer Service does sanitary sewer work, the city said in an Oct. 14 release. Access to all properties along the street will be kept open.

Country Club Road and Perkins Road will be closed between Willow Road and Carroll Avenue while A&R Services, Inc. mills the pavement as part of the Country Club Road and Perkins Road Improvements, according to an Oct. 15 release. Property owners will keep access, but no through traffic will be allowed.

Neither release names a detour. The city asks drivers to take care in all construction zones. Questions about either project go to Public Works at 217-384-2342.
