From 7 – 10 a.m., the Washington Way crosswalk on the east side of 26th St. will be closed for north/south travel. From 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., the 26th St. crosswalk on the north side of Washington Way will be closed for east/west travel. From 3 – 6 p.m., the Washington Way crosswalk on the west side of 26th St. will be closed for north/south travel. All other crossings will remain open when these individual crosswalks close.
