FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The City of Fayetteville Transportation Division will begin construction of a new sidewalk along the east side of Gregg Avenue between Elm Street and Township Street on Monday, March 27. These improvements are intended to improve sidewalk connections and pedestrian safety.
This improvement project will build a new 5-foot-wide sidewalk along the east side of Gregg Avenue from existing sidewalk just south of Township Street to Elm Street. The project is estimated to take two weeks to complete.

Flaggers will be present during work hours. Flaggers will be utilized, as needed, to allow construction vehicles to enter and exit the work area. Please use extreme caution when in the work area and watch for personnel and equipment.
