Westbound Traffic on Pier Ave to Re-open at 5 p.m.
After a week of being closed, westbound traffic on Pier Ave between Hermosa and Manhattan avenues re-opens today.
The strong aroma of tar filled the air on Pier Avenue between Hermosa and Manhattan avenues as fresh asphalt was being packed into the ground Friday afternoon. Westbound traffic on Pier Avenue between the two streets is scheduled to re-open at 5 p.m. today after being closed for five days.
The road was closed on Monday so that workers could connect a new storm drain to an existing one located just east of Hermosa Avenue.
This is just one phase of the Pier Ave Improvement Project, which is expected to reach completion by July.
