City’s Street Overlay Program Begins

The city’s summer overlay program starts Monday, July 9th, weather pending.  Streets to be overlaid will have temporary closures due to grinding, utility raising, and paving of the streets.  In some cases, traffic may be reduced to one lane during the overlay period.  We ask for your patience. Please pay attention to signage and detours and allow a little extra time to arrive at your destination.

The scope of the project includes the overlay of approximately 37 blocks of city streets including: 

A, B, C, and D Streets from Milwaukee Drive to Virginia Avenue (Forest Cemetery).

Milwaukee Drive from Government Way to Idaho Avenue.

Browne Avenue from Government Way to Milwaukee Drive.

Idaho and Virginia Avenues from Government Way to Lincoln Way.

Lincoln Way from Idaho Avenue to Walnut Avenue.

The schedule for the contractor will begin on July 12th with the milling of asphalt, followed by a 1 ½” overlay of asphalt and then raising all utilities to grade.  The work will be accomplished during daytime hours.

The overlay project is scheduled to be completed by the end of July, weather pending.
