A series of road closures in Hyattsville’s Arts District begin on Monday.

In order to allow construction crews working on the new Canvas Apartments to install utilities, certain roads will be closed to traffic.

Starting this week, there will be a lane closed on southbound Route 1 between Jefferson and Hamilton streets during construction hours. There will be an alternate route available along 43rd Avenue to Farragut Street.

The work is expected to take about six weeks.

That is a slight change from the previously announced schedule. Other road closures will happen through May on a rolling basis.

When completed, the building will have 30,000 square feet of retail space and 285 apartments next to the historic Armory building.
