Grand Avenue Construction Update

North of the bridge. The contractor was able to pave the two west lanes of Grand Avenue from Casey's to the bridge on Wednesday of last week. All storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water main lines were completed on the project prior to the weekend. The contractor is applying fly-ash material to the roadway to speed the drying process and lessen the impact of future rain events so that the remainder of the project can be paved in the next few weeks. Every reasonable step is being taken to get as much done as possible while the good weather lasts.

South of the bridge. On Friday, fly-ash material was applied to the roadway to assist in the drying process so that crews could work through the weekend in preparation of paving the two west lanes early this week. They continue to complete back filling and fine grading behind the curbs so that traffic can be reopened from the Fuller Road & Grand Ave intersection to Railroad Avenue with some restrictions north of the bridge.
