Claiborne Street to S. Galvez Street to accommodate replacement of underground drainage and waterlines.
Northbound traffic will be detoured to Broadway Street via Claiborne Avenue and southbound traffic will be detoured to Fontainebleau Drive.
The NOPD will provide traffic control services during peak travel times.
Nashville Avenue will reopen to traffic on April 27.
