116 3rd St SE
Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52401
Portion of Third Avenue goes two-way sooner than expected
Traffic was moving in two directions Friday night on Third Avenue SE between Eighth and 13th streets SE and on 13th Street between Second and Third avenues.
The previous one-way stretches were slated to change to two-way Monday as part of traffic switches related to the closing of Second Avenue SE between 10th and 12th streets SE to make way for the Physicians' Clinic of Iowa's new Medical Pavilion.
Second Avenue SE between 12th and 13th streets SE is also scheduled to be a two-way street. Those changes had not been implemented on Second Avenue as of Friday night.
City officials could not be reached to explain why the changes were made earlier than had been announced.
A right turn lane is added to the new southwest bound lanes of Third Ave SE at the 8th Street intersection in Cedar Rapids on Tuesday, May 10, 2011. The road was formerly one way the other direction. (Cliff Jette/The Gazette)
