SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The final phase of the Wall Street Streetscape Project begins Monday, with construction shifting to Wall Street between Ceasar Chaves and Ironwood Drives.

During construction, this section of the street will be closed, including the Wall Street and Ironwood Drive intersection.

The construction work includes the installation of a median refuge island for pedestrian crossing on Ironwood Drive at Wall Street, new curbs and sidewalks on the north and south sides of Wall Street, and the repaving of both Wall Street and the Ironwood Drive intersection.

This final phase is expected to be completed by the end of October, weather permitting.

During the closure, the detour route will be Mishawaka Avenue and Jefferson Boulevard via Twyckenham Drive. Additionally, drivers will be able to access Potawatomi Zoo from Wall Street through either Twyckenham Drive or Greenlawn Avenue.
