This Past Week:

Crews focused on constructing the raised medians in the north and south legs of the 6th Street SW at 33rd Avenue intersection, along with adjusting sanitary and storm sewer structures to finished grades in ditch areas and placing black dirt topsoil and sod. Alliant Energy also began installing new streets lights in the project corridor and work continued on the new traffic signals at 33rd Avenue, 29th Avenue and Wilson Avenue.

Upcoming Traffic Impacts:

Starting Sunday evening, September 11th at 6:00 PM and continuing the evenings of September 12th-14th, placement of the final layer of asphalt on 6th Street will begin. Asphalt placement will start in the south-bound lanes, progress from Wilson Avenue south to the end of the project. Over the four nights, asphalt placement will shift from southbound to northbound lanes. Work will cease for the day at 6:00 AM.

To prevent rutting of the final asphalt layer, when placement crosses Wilson Avenue and 33rd Avenue these intersections will be closed to cross traffic for up to an hour to allow newly placed asphalt to be compacted and to cool down. Similar closures will occur at side streets and driveways.  During these times, flaggers will direct traffic to alternate routes. Motorists are advised to expect delays and are encouraged to seek alternative routes if possible.

As always, if you have questions or concerns about the project, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our project team.
