ALPENA – Beginning today, contractors will be doing storm sewer infrastructure work on Ripley Boulevard, between 1st Avenue and 2nd Avenue.

Both northbound lanes will be closed. Traffic will have lane shifts to keep from closing road down completely. Signage and barricades will be present to guide traffic around the lane closure, but motorists are advised to seek alternate routes.

This work is expected to be completed in one day unless weather or construction delays occur.
