ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- The City of Odessa will be working to completely reconstruct 31^st street from Andrews Highway to N. Dixie Blvd.

The work will consist of removing the existing materials, concrete curb and gutter work, as well as a new base material and asphalt driving surface.

Awarded to Permian Paving, Inc., this project will cost $1.45 million and take about four months to complete.

This project is being split into 2 phases due to 31^st street not being wide enough to keep two lanes of traffic open with the construction.

• Phase One will close 31^st street from Andrews to Muskingum and Roger Avenue to Dixie for construction.
• Phase Two will close 31^st street from Muskingum to Roger Ave. for construction.

Phase One is anticipated to begin April 10^th and last about two months. Drivers will be required to take alternate routes throughout this project.
