Pavement Marking Projects Scheduled This Weekend

The City of Mt. Pleasant will begin pavement marking projects on Friday, September 11 and continue through Monday, September 14. Crews will be refreshing pavement markings in Island Park, downtown parking lots, and along several city streets during the project period.

Parking Lot Pavement Marking

Work will begin Friday in Island Park, starting with the parking lot near the pickleball courts before moving through the remaining park parking areas. Crews will then prioritize Downtown Parking Lot 2 so it can reopen ahead of the Farmers Market on Saturday afternoon.

Depending on crew availability, multiple locations may be completed simultaneously.

The following parking lots are scheduled for pavement marking:

All Island Park parking lots
Lot 1
Lot 2
Lot 6
Lot 7
Lot 8
Lot 12

Please avoid parking in these areas while crews are working and follow all posted signs and temporary closures.

Roadway Marking Work

From Saturday through Monday, additional crews will be completing hand-applied pavement markings, including directional arrows, crosswalks, and other roadway markings.

Roadway marking work is scheduled for the following road segments:

Adams Street: High Street to Broadway Street
Bellows Street: Mission Street to Isabella Road
Bradley Street: High Street to Pickard Street
Brown Street: Pickard Street to Broadway Street
Pickard Street: Bradley Street to Mission Street
West Campus Drive: Preston Street to Bellows Street

Please use caution when traveling through active work areas and be alert for workers and equipment. We appreciate your patience as this work helps maintain safe and clearly marked roadways and parking areas throughout Mt. Pleasant.

Temporary Closure Planned for Broadway Street

UPDATE (July 23): The planned Broadway Street closure and concrete pour scheduled for July 24 have been postponed. The work is now expected to occur early next week. Updated information will be shared once the new date is confirmed.

As improvements at City Hall continue to move forward, the planned closure of Broadway Street between Washington and Oak streets has been postponed. The closure was originally scheduled to allow crews to safely pour concrete for the retaining wall on the east side of the building, but that work has been rescheduled and is now expected to take place early next week.

Updated information regarding the closure date, detour route, and any traffic impacts will be shared as soon as the schedule is confirmed.

The City Hall entrance will remain open and accessible during normal business hours. Motorists, pedestrians, and visitors are encouraged to use caution when traveling through the area and to remain alert for construction workers, equipment, and changing traffic patterns.

We appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation as these improvements continue. Following posted signage and allowing extra travel time near City Hall will help keep everyone safe during ongoing construction activities.
