The City of Wheeling announced beginning Monday, May 16, two construction projects on Wheeling Island will begin, closing two roadways to traffic. 

The first project, Phase I of Gateway Park near the Suspension Bridge, will close S. Front Street between Virginia St. and Ohio St. for roughly 60 days. James White Construction is the general contractor for the project. 

Also on Monday, crews with Ohio-West Virginia Excavating will close Delaware St., including the intersection at S. Wabash St. for a storm sewer separation project. This project is expected to last until mid-September.

Travelers are advised to take alternative routes while these important projects take place.
