Beginning Thursday, May 19, the city of Santa Clarita will begin a temporary and intermittent lane closure of the number two (outside lane), and the shoulder on the westbound side of Lyons Avenue between Main Street and Railroad Avenue.

Closures are anticipated to be in effect through the end of May.

The lane closure is to accommodate installation of structural steel for the Old Town Newhall Library. The number two lane and the shoulder will be closed intermittently from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The number one lane (fast lane) will be open to through traffic for the duration of the construction.

Drivers should expect possible delays and slowed traffic on the roadway during construction hours.

For more information on the lane closure, call Harry Corder, senior engineer for the city of Santa Clarita, at (661) 254-2701.
