​Front Street in the City of Erie will be closed to through traffic from Sassafras Street Extension to State Street from September 24 to 27 and September 30 to October 4. Access to all businesses along the Bayfront Parkway will be maintained.  

The road will remain closed from September 24 to 27 and September 30 to October 4. This is a correction of an earlier advisory that indicated it would open at the end of each workday.

The closure is needed to complete underground utility work.
