MAY 15, 2019 • 112th Rhododendron Festival • 21
ReVision Florence construction
impacts to be low on Rhody Days
Th e ReVision Florence Streetscape
Project construction is well underway.
Th e contractor will be working Monday
through Wednesday of the week lead-
ing up to the Rhododendron Festival
(May 13-15). Crews will not be working
Th ursday, May 16, through Sunday, May
19.
Crews will work through Wednesday,
May 15, to prepare the construction
zone for the Rhododendron Festival.
Th is will include the reopening of both
southbound travel lanes on Highway
101 and both westbound travel lanes
on Highway 126. Within the work zone,
the contractor will still have the outer
shoulder closed to vehicles (no on-street
parking) on the westside of Highway
101. Open trenching will be temporarily
fi lled with gravel for the Festival week-
end. Pedestrian routing cones and bar-
ricades will remain in place to protect
pedestrians from the hazards.
People are encouraged to be cautious
in the entire corridor as the area will still
be a construction zone despite the work
crews and equipment not being present.
Parade spectators will be able to view
the parade on Sunday from both the
sidewalks and the closed highway shoul-
der, similar to previous years.
Th e city asks the public not to move
the cones during the parade as they will
be needed at their designated locations
immediately following the parade when
traffi c is returned to both sides of the
highway.
Following the Rhododendron Festi-
val, construction crews will return Mon-
day, May 20, to complete the sidewalks
and curbs on the westside of Highway
101. Th e lane closures and traffi c control
devices will return through the end of
May and be removed again for Memo-
rial Day weekend. Aft er Memorial Day,
work will move to the eastside of High-
way 101.
