East 4th Street Work To Begin Monday, July 8th

Work will begin on the pipe installation along East 4th Street from Ray Street west to the old railroad right-of-way area on Monday, July 8, 2013.  Work will begin at the intersection of East 4th Street and Ray Street on Monday afternoon.

On Wednesday, July 3, 2013 the City sent informational letters to the residents and property owners in the construction area with a map.  Both are available on the project web page on the City's web site which can be located here.

This work will require that portions of City streets be closed while construction occurs.  The City and the contractor, Lundell Construction have worked together to try to minimize the inconvenience of the project to the residents and businesses in the area but street closures are unavoidable.  A map showing the street closings and the general timing of them as of the start of the work is available here.

Residents should note that the timing indicated both in the letter as well as the map are estimates and subject to change based on weather conditions and underground conditions encountered once the crews start working.  It will not be possible to update everyone with a letter with updates once construction starts so residents and property owners are encouraged to check back with this project blog and the project web page to get the latest information.

Finally, residents and others traveling in the project area are strongly encouraged to take extra precautions during the construction time frame and to reduce speed in the construction area be alert for construction workers and equipment.

This phase of the work is expected to take the better part of a month to complete and the timeline is subject to change.
