Poor weather and poor sub-grade soils and created delays in finishing Phase 1. The contractor is hauling aggregate today and tomorrow to get the surfacing on Phase 1 ahead of the forecast weather the end of this week.

Resurface and Overlay Projects

The contractor has completed the sub-grade work on Lynn and Burton. Both of those projects have been delayed by the weather and should be getting the concrete work done in the next week. Following the concrete replacements, the contractor plans to get those two projects paved and finished.

The 4th Street project is scheduled to start the end of this week, 10/10 or 10/11. However, the weather forecast does not look very favorable. If the forecast holds, the contractor will likely begin work on Monday. The first phase of this project will be to complete some storm sewer work in the alley west of TH 15 adjacent to Century 21. Fourth Street will be closed between TH 15 and Fairview during this work phase.
