NORMAN, Okla. (KFOR) – Norman residents will begin seeing construction for the Porter Avenue Avenue Streetscape 2019 Bond Project, according to the City of Norman.

lane of Porter Avenue between Alameda Street and Main Street.

City officials also say additionally, during intermittent storm pipeline replacements across Porter Avenue, both northbound lanes will be closed in the immediate area of work with two-way traffic (one lane in each direction) being provided on the existing southbound lanes.

The phase of the project is anticipated to take two months to complete.

• New sidewalks
• Driveway consolidation or elimination (access management)
