The closure is expected to last for one day, with North Monroe St. reopening by Tuesday, July 9. This project is part of the city's Six Year Comprehensive Streets plan which aims to maintain 2,200 lane miles of streets. The project also includes signal work and ADA-compliant sidewalk improvements.

The grind and overlay method was chosen for this project due to its efficiency in extending the lifespan of existing roadways while maintaining safety and aesthetics. As a journalist reporting on this project, it is important to inform the public about these closures and encourage them to use designated detour routes for their convenience and safety.
