While a revised timetable for completing the project has yet to be established, City officials are working diligently to arrange for completion of the work as soon as possible. As the City continues its discussions with JSmith Civil and Westfield, it will continue monitoring site conditions in furtherance of its commitment to ensuring that the busy Atlantic Avenue corridor is safe for the motoring public, pedestrians, adjacent landowners, and others.
