Working through the pandemic, engineers and contractors are ahead of schedule as the city continues to make progress on the latest phase of the Downtown Crossing that will connect Orange Street over Route 34, while a separate art project will light the way for pedestrians going to nearby Union Station. Mayor Justin Elicker thanked the two previous mayors, John DeStefano Jr. and Toni Harp, for pushing the complex Downtown Crossing project along to this phase, which began in spring 2019 and is expected to be finished by July 2021. A total of $36 million in federal transportation funding has come to the city for the project and a decision on $15.3 million for Phase 3, which would connect Temple Street over Route 34, will be announced in October.
