Bluestem Drive will close Tuesday, Sept. 7, from the intersection of 32nd Avenue E. to the T-intersection of 7th Street E. and Bluestem Drive for private building construction activity in the area. Work is anticipated to be complete by Friday, Sept. 24. 

For regional and through traffic, the detour route will use 31st Avenue E. between 6th Street E. and Veterans Boulevard. In some areas, the road will fully close and additional detours will be in place. Sidewalk access in these areas will also be restricted. 

Motorists in this area may encounter congestion and delays during the morning and evening commutes and should adjust their travel plans accordingly. Always use the ‘S’ check when traveling in and around construction areas – check your speed, space and stress.
