Beginning Monday, crews will begin replacing cross gutters on Flintwood Drive at the intersections of Yellowwood Drive, Magnolia Street, 29th Street and Miami Drive. Each intersection will be closed one at a time for the work. About one week later, crews will begin installing underdrains at these same locations.
