A painting contractor will begin painting the bridge railing on the west side of Fairview Avenue (1300 block), during the week of February 16. This work is expected to last about 3 weeks, ending on March 5. It will require the width of the bike lane to be narrowed adjacent to the bridge railing. Bikers are advised to use caution.

Fairview Avenue N will be open to its full width for vehicle traffic between the hours of 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. At other times, the contractor may reduce it to one lane in each direction during working hours.
