Starting Monday, Feb. 22, reconstruction of Arlington Avenue between Byrne Road and Detroit Avenue and a water line repair will close both inside lanes of the road.
Those who frequent The University of Toledo Medical Center and Health Science Campus are encouraged to use the Glendale Avenue entrance to improve traffic, as repairs will continue through June.
