A lightning strike is to blame for extending a street closure in Bartlesville.

According to the city of Bartlesville, the ongoing street repair project on 20^th Street between Johnstone Avenue and Dewey Avenue will be extended through July 14. Officials say a concrete pour that was planned for this week has been postponed after lightning caused damage to a local concrete plant.

Intermittent lane and total road closures should be expected during the daytime hours on 20^th Street. City officials say the closures are in place between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day until the repairs are complete.

Through-traffic will be permitted during the evening and nighttime hours.
