Paving for Progress Construction Update

Mount Vernon Rd from 14th to 20th

Construction Update | 10-20-23

This project is entering into the final weeks of construction for this year. The asphalt work was completed this week and the manholes are now being adjusted up to match the new asphalt. The pavement markings are scheduled to be completed early next week.

On Wednesday, October 25, there will be one final traffic shift. The outside lanes will be closed and traffic will run in the inside lanes. With the outside lanes closed, the areas behind the curb will be graded and sod will be placed. Alliant will install new streetlights up to 17^th Street, and the traffic signal equipment will be installed.

Please reach out to a member of our team if you have any questions.
