The project is expected to begin in August although the mast arms and new pedestrian signals aren't expected to be installed until spring of 2022 due to supply chain issues, according to officials .
Construction teams plan to meet with residents and businesses near the construction site during the next weeks to present the scope of the project and discuss the impact of the closure of Harvey Street may or may not affect particular businesses.
