The Youngstown Department of Public Works plans to close a section of West Federal Street Downtown beginning Wednesday.

West Federal will be shut down between Market Street and Phelps Street for the installation of concrete crosswalks starting Dec. 6.

Additionally, Phelps Street between West Federal and West Boardman Street will also be closed for work.

The projects are part of the SMART2 Roadway project and are expected to be completed in two and a half weeks.

While construction will close down these roads for motorists, pedestrian traffic will be maintained, according to the department.
