KEARNEY, NE — A four-block stretch of road in east Kearney will be closed for about two months for construction.

The City of Kearney says 31st St. from Avenue G to Avenue L will close on Tuesday. Contractors will completely remove and replace the roadway and make water main and sanitary improvements. The work is expected to last through mid-October.

This closure follows previous work in this area over the summer. 31st St. from Avenue G to Avenue I has been closed since July 6. The street was closed from Avenue L to Avenue N for about a month until recently.

People can access properties in the area through alleys and side streets. City officials are urging drivers to use extreme caution in the area.
