Significant traffic pattern changes are coming to Adams Street and Forsyth Street between Jefferson Street and Liberty Street as part of the Adams & Forsyth Two-Way Mobility Project. The project will convert both streets to two-way, single-lane traffic.
The construction will be conducted in two phases:
Phase 1:
- Traffic will be reduced to a single lane on the south side of Adams Street and the north side of Forsyth Street for approximately 60 days.
- The Forsyth Street single-lane reduction begins on February 22, 2025.
- The Adams Street single-lane reduction begins on March 1, 2025.
Phase 2:
- Upon completion of Phase 1, traffic will shift to a single lane on the north side of Adams Street and the south side of Forsyth Street.
- This configuration will remain in place for approximately 60 days, until the project is completed and opened to two-way traffic.
Work during both phases will include milling and resurfacing of the roadway, installation of signage and pavement markings, parking kiosks, and signalization. Construction equipment will be entering and exiting the work zones throughout the day.
Access to businesses, properties, and pedestrian areas will be maintained, though minor stoppages may occur. Street parking within the work zones will be closed, but parking will remain available on the non-work zone side of the streets.
Project Goals:
The two-way street conversion aims to:
- Encourage economic growth.
- Boost property values.
- Support efficient use of on-street parking and rideshare services.
- Enhance retail visibility and occupancy rates.
- Improve walkability and pedestrian safety.
- Increase sidewalk activity.
- Elevate residential demand and quality of life.
The project is a key part of the Downtown master plan and is funded by the Downtown Investment Authority (DIA).
