Construction crews will be out along Saginaw Parkway in Cambridge for the last two weeks of August.

Starting Monday, August 24, speed cushions will be installed along the roadway in an effort to improve road safety in the area.

The speed cushions will be up at six spots on Saginaw.

The city said work will take place in phases, with hopes to be completed by Friday, September 4.

Temporary parking restrictions could be in place during the two-weeks of work.
