2nd Avenue Update

Work on 2nd Avenue continues to move along. Crews will be pouring the new sidewalk ramps today at 2nd Avenue SE and 2nd Street SE. Sidewalk access on the north side of 2nd Avenue will be available by the end of next week. Also next week, the sidewalk at 6th Street SE will be re-opened (6th Street remains closed at this time).

Parking restrictions will continue on 2nd Avenue, and may move from the north side to the south side, depending on where the contractor is working.

Some neighboring projects also taking place:

• Alliant Energy is repairing an underground vault at 2nd Avenue and 1st Street SE, which is impacting sidewalk in that area
• United Fire expansion continues, and the closure of 2nd Street SE will continue in the weeks ahead for the installation of utilities 

4th Ave and 5th Avenue Update

Crews are working on the curb and gutter on 4th Avenue, as well as back-filling with rock and re-pouring sidewalk. All of this needs to be done in advance of the railroad doing their work this winter on the gates. 

Lane closures continue on 4th Avenue SE and 5th Street SE, and crews are about a week away from wrapping that work up.

Thank you for your patience as we continue moving forward!
