A concrete vault to house the new booster pumps on Glen Avenue will be installed on Friday between 12:00 am and 10:00 am. For the majority of this time, one lane (eastbound) will be open on Glen Avenue between Upper Boulevard and Oak Street. Both lanes will be closed to traffic between 6:00 am and 8:00 am.
