Construction on Keystone Avenue and West Fourth Street started a few months ago, and now we're hearing from viewers struggling with the delays there.
Crews assured us everything has been going according to plan so far.
Even with some challenges caused by the rain we’ve recently had, they say they're still on track to finish the project around November of this year.
Scott Gibson, the Project Manager of the West Fourth St Safety Project, said, "Yesterday, for example, we got a microburst, a large amount of rain, and a short period of time here in this area. Fourth Street is flat. One of the challenges that we've had is trying to improve the drainage, because there's just not a lot of other places for it to go, but we do have new drainage systems in place."
We spoke to business owners in the area, and they say the construction has definitely slowed things down.
They say their customers tell them that it can be a challenge to get through the construction.
Christine Paredes, Owner of Mi Casa Too, told us, "We were told that this is going to be a roundabout right here, and so hopefully there's going to be more ability for people on bikes and people walking and everything, so hopefully once everything's cleared, it'll get back to normal."
Owners say they appreciate their loyal customers and are hopeful to get things back to normal once the road is finished.
Paredes said, "We have people that have been coming here for years. We have people who brought their kids, and their kids are coming here still, and it's great the support that we've had, with everybody.”
We also spoke with neighbors in the area, and they say the construction has made their day-to-day life a bit more challenging.
They say the constant change in traffic direction makes it difficult for them to start their day sometimes.
Jonathan York, an area resident, told us, "It does make it a little difficult. You know, you got to compensate, 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there, getting places and whatnot, but getting in and out, they shut down the front. Quite often, they've done it two or three times now, so we kind of have to take the side exit, but we can still get out to the main road."
Neighbors say they're being patient with the construction because they know the improvements that are being made were needed and bring more safety to the area.
York said, "I think it will definitely help maintain traffic a little better. Give people time to get in and get out. It most likely would slow down traffic a little bit and allow those bicyclists to have some more room on the road."
