The years-long Bayfront Parkway reconstruction project is continuing.  Now, a year-long closure of part of State St. has started, with the parkway not far behind.

State Street is now closed from the parkway to 2nd Street.

It will be closed during Tall Ships Erie in August.

But there will be temporary pedestrian access along State Street during the festival.

The Bayfront Parkway will be closed from the Sassafras St. Extension to Holland St. starting Sept. 2. 

There will be detours posted and people will still be able to get to businesses along the water.
