Starting on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, a contractor will begin the removal of trees in the right of ways. The contractor will begin at E. Cleveland and S. Elm and continue to work North to 4th Street. Over the next couple of weeks, the contractor will be working on both S. Elm and S. Locust in these areas.
Motorists should expect possible changes to traffic patterns and traffic delays during construction. Even though traffic control will be in place to allow traffic to use all the streets in the area of construction, traffic could be slowed due to lane closures. Side streets could also be temporarily closed as the operation moves through the intersections. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes, when possible, to use extreme caution when traveling in the area of construction and be aware of workers in the work zone.
The City of Pittsburg appreciates the patience of motorists and residents while this work is being performed. Please contact the City of Pittsburg Public Works & Utilities Department at 620-240-5126 with questions regarding this project.
