The Bayfront Parkway in Erie will be closed for construction from Holland Street West to the Sassafras Street Extension, starting Tuesday, for an expected duration of 12 to 14 months.

The closure is part of the Bayfront Parkway project and is slated for completion by 2027. This will block access to the waterfront via State Street, leaving Dobbins Landing and surrounding businesses accessible only through detours.

East Front Street and West Front Street will serve as the main access points to the area during the closure. While some businesses like Oliver's Rooftop remain optimistic about maintaining customer traffic, others are worried about the potential impact on their operations.

"I think it's going to be a minor inconvenience," said Zack Feldmann, General Manager of Oliver's Rooftop.
