Public Works Director Howard Weissberg said the project, which began in December 2017, is scheduled to finish next week. The city pursued the project, Weissberg said, primarily to improve traffic safety and cut down on motor vehicle accidents along Pratt Street by reducing the number of travel lanes and adding turning lanes. The work on Pratt Street cost $3.2 million, all of which is being covered by state funds allocated for the project.
