The target date for the reconnection from Martin Luther King Boulevard to South Frontage Road is Sept. 9, if the weather cooperates, according to Anna Mariotti of HTNB Corp., the city’s consultant on the Downtown Crossing project. Most of the work is complete. “When the finishing work is done, those will be in operation and people will be able to drive, walk, ride their bike from South Orange to Orange,” Mariotti said. Reconnecting Orange Street is Phase 2 of Downtown Crossing, which is turning what used to be the high-speed Richard C. Lee Highway, also known as the Oak Street Connector, back into an urban grid. While the work is completed, there will be single-lane closures on streets in the area.
