Portion of South Front Street to be closed for resurfacing ...

Work was scheduled to begin this week on the resurfacing project taking place on South Front Street/Great River Road in Lansing from its intersection with Main Street south to the Clear Creek Bridge. That section of roadway will be milled down, graded and then have an asphalt overlay applied during the next week-plus, obviously dependent upon weather conditions. Residents and visiting motorists are reminded that South Front Street will be closed from Main Street down to Valley Street, with a detour in place utilizing South Fourth Street and Valley Street to circumvent the area for motorists looking to access Great River Road south out of Lansing from Main Street, and vice versa. No access to South Front Street will be available via John Street, and those wishing to visit the businesses and other locations on the riverfront along the closed section of roadway are urged by City officials to park in the ball diamond parking lot where John Street meets South Front Street.
