We cannot continue to thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue through these last few weeks of this construction season.
Please understand that the eastbound side of the street is not open for public use yet. This area is still a work zone. This includes driveway access to businesses between Black River and Coon Prairie. Most side streets through downtown have been opened and those are the only locations where vehicles should be crossing the work area. Please continue to use alternate access to businesses through downtown, as it is not safe for the public, pedestrians or construction workers. Vehicles within the work area will need to be able to be moved during work hours so the contractor can complete remaining work.
Additional concrete work was completed near the roundabout and side streets this week, along with more sidewalk and driveways. Grading should begin for the multi-use trail from South St to the south end of the project next week. Pedestrians are being moved onto the new pavement from Coon Prairie to the south end of the project for the next few weeks. Asphalt pavement was completed on the Ramsland cul-de-sac, side streets and a few driveway locations. Street lights are also being installed.
Next week will be a lot of the same work. Please be considerate of where you park so work can progress as efficiently as possible. There may be a slight traffic switch at the north end of the project to complete the final section of concrete, pending schedule. There may also be additional flagging and minor traffic impacts to complete the work over the next few weeks. Please be alert and patient while driving through the work zone. We are all looking forward to getting traffic on the new pavement as soon as possible and giving everyone a winter break from construction. Thank you again for your patience and enjoy your weekend!
Thanks,
