Starting on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, contractors will begin mill and paving operations on East Atkinson Ave, from South Rouse to Free Kings Hwy. During working hours, this segment will be closed to through traffic and restricted to local traffic only. The milling and paving operations should be complete by the end of the day on Thursday, Nov. 12.
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 pavement 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.
