8th Ave SW from 15th to Rockford Road Improvements

Construction Update | 9-07-22

Last week:

The intersection of 8th Avenue SW and Rockford Road, and 8th Avenue west to the 11th Street intersection were fully closed for water main and storm sewer installation, along with pavement reconstruction. Rockford Road was reopened from 3rd Avenue to the new Stadium Court cul-de-sac to provide access for residents.


Upcoming:

Some final restoration work remains on Rockford Road, which can be completed under traffic. However, motorists are asked to exercise appropriate caution.

 

The 8th Avenue closure between Rockford Road and 11th Street is expected to remain in-place until the end of September or early October. Depending on crew availability, storm sewer installation along 8th Avenue going west to 15th Street may be concurrent. If so, this work will be performed while two-lanes of traffic are maintained on 8th Avenue.


The final phase of this project includes full reconstruction of 8th Avenue from 11th Street to 15th Street.  

 

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