Circle Square Construction

Location: Chester Ave., Stokes Blvd. and MLK Jr. Dr.

Alert in effect: Monday, March 29 until further notice

Construction on the Circle Square project is anticipated to begin as early as Monday, March 29. During the first phase of project construction, pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be impacted on Chester Ave., Stokes Blvd., and Liberty Blvd.

Construction impacts of the first phase include:

  • The closure of Liberty Blvd.
  • Lane reductions on eastbound Chester Ave. between E. 105th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive
  • Lane reductions on Stokes Blvd. between Chester Ave. and Euclid Ave.

Pedestrian traffic will be maintained around the construction zone on the north side of Chester Ave. and on the east side of Stokes Blvd. To avoid delays in the area during construction, eastbound traffic on Chester should use E. 105th Street and Carnegie Ave. to reach Stokes Blvd. Southbound traffic on MLK Jr. Dr. should take MLK Jr. Dr. to Euclid Ave. to reach Stokes Blvd.

As construction progresses, additional closures are anticipated. Additional construction/detours associated with construction of the Library Lofts building on Euclid will likely begin this summer. We will update this page with changes as construction proceeds.
