COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A portion of a downtown Columbia street and sidewalk will be closed for roughly a month beginning on Thursday, according to a Monday press release from the city.

The release says Park Avenue between Seventh and Eighth streets will be closed as crews make waterline connections for the East Park Avenue Apartments. The closure is expected to be in place from 7 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 30 through 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20.

The sidewalk on the north side of the road will be closed, while the south side sidewalk will stay open and will have signs placed to direct pedestrians to safe crossing points, the release says. Four parking meters on the southern side of the road will also be closed, the release says.

All three entrances to the Armory on Park Avenue will be closed and drivers should access the parking lot from East Ash Street, the release says.
