Paving for Progress Construction Update

Chandler Street SW

Construction Update | 9-11-20

Work that had resumed on the Chandler Street project post-derecho was interrupted briefly this week due to rain, but progress is still moving forward.

The new intersection at 10th Avenue is paved and is scheduled to open no later than September 21. New sidewalk to the Jefferson High School softball complex has also been constructed. Starting next week, residential water services will be transferred from the old water main to the newly installed main between 9th Avenue and 8th Avenue, and new water main will be extended to 18th Street.

In addition, the existing concrete Chandler Street pavement will be repaired and replaced as needed in preparation for the planned asphalt overlay. Except for some minor restoration items, we expect construction on this phase will be completed by mid-November. Future improvements include Chandler Street and the 20th Street loop, planned for 2021.

As always, if you have questions or concerns regarding this project, please feel free to contact a member of our project team.
