Updates for the 8th Avenue SW, 15th Street to Rockford Road project are as follows:

Rockford Road to west of 11th Street:

Storm sewer, grading, and preparations for pavement placement are nearly complete. Ongoing work includes new approach pavement for the Union Pacific rail crossing. We currently expect to complete this work by the end of October.

11th Street to 15th Street:

Storm sewer installation continues.

Several area contractors have experienced difficulty obtaining concrete for all types of construction. We previously stated traffic will have hard surface pavement to drive on, either existing or new, through winter, and that we will minimize the use of temporary pavement. While a final decision has not yet been made, we will not extend new pavement west of 11th Street this year unless we are certain we have both favorable weather and an adequate supply of concrete. We will keep you informed as the situation develops.

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