Much of the work will involve replacement of rail ties and concrete panels. The city will perform some paving along with it as well, while the county and city will assist each other with paving and manpower on their respective portions of the line, Rubcic said. There will be detours set up in those areas, which Rubcic said drivers should avoid if possible.
