Utility work underneath The Oval is nearing completion. By mid-November, fences will be reduced and all walkways will be open to pedestrians. The project also updated what those passers-by won't see – 3,000 feet of utility lines pushed back the timeline a bit, snaking through a brick-and-mortar tunnel system built in the early 1900's.
Work started in April and is expected to be finished in November.
