Progress continues to move forward on the roadway and trail improvements taking place on 1st Avenue. The contractor has finished the retaining wall for the CeMar trail pedestrian underpass, and will begin backfilling operations this week.
A lot of pavement work is also anticipated to be underway over the next several weeks. Crews will finish the pavement removal and new placement on the west side between 28th Street to 31st Street (the east side is already completed). Between 32nd Street and 34th Street, pavement work is wrapping up and only final items remain. All the pavement work is expected to be completed within a month.
Summary of Intersection Work:
- 27th Street: Pavement work and realignment is complete, sod work is the only remaining item, which will occur later this fall when weather permits. All turning movements are open; northbound traffic on 1st Avenue is restricted to one lane while final items are completed.
- 29th Street: Work remains underway. 1st Avenue traffic is reduced to one lane each direction, with turning restrictions still in place. The intersection remains closed west of 1st Avenue.
- 32nd Street: Work is wrapping up and all turning movements are open. Traffic on 1st Avenue is reduced to one lane each direction while final items are completed.
The contractor plans on having the entire project, including the pedestrian underpass, wrapped up in the next three months.
