Construction is scheduled to take place on Railroad Avenue in Newhall Avenue, starting Wednesday, July 5, according to city officials.

The construction is expected to last until early August, in order to install a reinforced concrete box storm drain.

The installment includes temporary removal of the median on Railroad Avenue north of Oak Ridge Drive.

Railroad Avenue will also be restriped from 300 feet south of Oak Ridge Drive to roughly 1,000 feet south of Drayton Street to allow one lane of traffic to remain open in each direction during the construction period. Construction hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Residents are asked to be aware of construction, follow reduced speed limits, and follow electronic message boards for the safety of drivers, workers, and pedestrians.

The City of Santa Clarita thanks community members in advance for their understanding and support of this project.
