Paving for Progress Construction Update

Mount Vernon Rd from 14th to 20th

Construction Update | 5-12-23

Work has shifted to the south half of Mount Vernon Road between 14^th and 17^th Streets and the good weather has allowed for significant progress. The past two weeks have seen the reconstruction of the south leg of 15^th Street, installation of temporary traffic signals at 15^th Street, pavement removals, storm sewer installation, and utility relocations along Mount Vernon Road, and sanitary sewer installation on 16^th Street. In the next two weeks, expect to see pavement patching, installation of curb and gutter, and construction of retaining walls along Mount Vernon Road.

Traffic continues to run head-to-head in the north lanes and all businesses are open.

Please reach out to a member of our team if you have any questions.
