More rails, track go down in latest streetcar update

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -

Streetcar construction presses on this morning, between Fifth and Church Avenues.  Soon residents will see the track and rail in place there. 

Crews are gearing up to pour concrete for the rails, kicking off work on Sunday night.  This means a few more street closures for drivers to be aware of.

Drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians prepare for extensive traffic changes in the area.  Broadway between Church and Fifth Avenues will be down to one lane eastbound.  Some areas will be restricted to pedestrians and local traffic. 

Police officers will be posted at several locations to direct traffic during peak hours.  Road restrictions will continue through the end of the month. 

Drivers are advised to prepare themselves as they are heading out this morning.  Give yourself some extra time and watch for detour signs.
