Chambers Connector project under stop‑work order; mayor says contractor awaits railroad approval
Summary
Mayor CJ Linda told attendees the Chambers Connector construction is under a stop‑work order pending railroad authorization, with lane restrictions and detours in place and continued traffic-control maintenance until the contractor secures permission to resume.
Mayor CJ Linda said city engineers reported the Chambers Connector project is currently under a stop‑work order and that crews are limited to maintaining traffic control and pedestrian routes while awaiting railroad authorization. "This project is under a stop work order and is not performing any work besides maintaining slash adjusting traffic control of pedestrian accessible routes as necessary," she said.
She described current traffic constraints: vehicles restricted to the west side of the structure, lane closures that prevent turns onto Roosevelt, and a detour in place. The mayor urged caution for pedestrian safety, noted expected peak‑hour delays, and said staff are working with the contractor and railroad to secure the required contract so work can resume later in the summer.
