The City of Independence annouces a street closure for next week.

 As progress continues on construction of the Central Park Sports Complex, a section of North Park Boulevard between Sycamore and Parkhurst streets will be closed next week to allow for utility work necessary to connect the complex to services.

The street is expected to be closed to traffic beginning at 8 a.m. Tuesday through 5 p.m. Friday.

Motorists are encouraged to plan alternate routes and drive cautiously near the work zone.
