Residents & Business Owners,
The day you have been waiting for is almost here. The contractor is hopeful that they will be able to switch traffic onto the new lanes and roundabout on Friday, pending any unforeseen circumstances. Otherwise, it will be early next week.
Attached is a map of what access at the roundabout will look like. There will be a right only access to the parking lot of Hansen’s Market off of USH 14. This is an entrance ONLY. To exit the Hansen’s parking lot, you will have to utilize the driveway onto STH 27 or Swiggum Road. At this time, the access from Hansen’s Market to Ramsland Road will be closed permanently. The new frontage road will connect to Ramsland. Access to Nordic Lanes and WCCU will be from the new frontage road or from Ramsland via Swiggum. Parking can resume in the downtown area once traffic is completely switched. Unfortunately, parking stall lines may not be marked out until early 2025.
We ask that you please be patient during the switch, as barricades and traffic control devices must be installed after traffic is moved for the switch to be complete. There will be additional pavement markings that need to be installed as weather and temperatures allow over the next few weeks. You will see a bit more work over the next few weeks to complete the winter preparations.
With that being said, this will be the last regular project update for the 2024 construction season. Please keep an eye out for anticipated start date in 2025. Thank you for all your patience and understanding. We strive to have provided you with accurate information and hope that these updates were beneficial. Enjoy the remainder of 2024 and we look forward to a successful completion of the project in 2025.
Thanks,
