Starting Thursday, October 3, Commercial Street will be closed at Division for around two months.
The intersection will be modified into a more traditional configuration, according to the City of Springfield. The lanes on Division Street will be straightened to a traditional three-lane section of roadway, and Commercial St. will be reconstructed to intersect at a 90-degree angle. The intersection will also get a new stop sign. Sidewalks will be relocated to run parallel to the new roadway alignment and will include ADA accessibility upgrades.
The project is estimated to cost $213,000 and is funded through the 1/8-cent Transportation Sales Tax.
