ELMIRA, N.Y. (WENY) -- Construction continues on the months-long project that is W. Water Street in the City of Elmira.

City officials say pavement overlay installation will take place on W. Water St. between College Avenue and the Clemens Center Parkway. The work is scheduled to begin around 7:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 8th. 

The closure is an effort to reduce impacts on businesses and weekend roadway users. The overlay project is designed to provide a smoother driving surface during the winter shutdown of the W. Water Street Reconstruction Project.

During upcoming paving, sections of W. Water Street will be closed.  Barricades and signage will be in place to notify drivers of the closed sections.  Main Street will remain open the entire time. 

Residents and business owners should not park on W. Water Street after 6:00 a.m. on Sunday.   

City officials say the inconvenience should only last through Sunday afternoon.
