CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Last week, the contractor worked on grading Stages 1 & 2 as well as moving the temp water system. The subcontractor worked on the electrical system for the streetlights and power to the tree locations. This week, the contractor will be working on the following:

1. Removing concrete in front of Bronson’s Supervalu.
2. Grading Stages 1 & 2.
3. Placing Class 5 on Stages 1 & 2.
4. Beginning removals in Stage 3.

Last week, the contractor finished installing all storm sewer piping, inlets, and manholes in Stages 1 & 2. This week the contractor will be grading the road, moving temp water piping, and excavating at the intersection of Main St. and Central Ave. A subcontractor will be installing underground electrical in Stages 1 & 2. They were originally going to start the removals in Stage 3 this week, but they have elected to start the week of May 27, 2024.

The contractor will not be on site May 23 – May 27 due to Memorial Day weekend.

Starting the week of May 20, 2024, Stage 3 of the project will be closed to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic so the contractor can start removals.

NO WORK DUE TO RAIN (TUESDAY, MAY 14, 2024)

No work will take place on 05/14/2024 due to the rains from the night before. Work will resume on 05/15/2024.

Last week, the contractor finished installing all water and sewer piping for stages 1 & 2. This week, the contractor will begin installing storm sewer manholes. Once the manholes are installed, the contractor will install storm sewer main piping for stages 1 & 2.

Areas of town will be without water from 9 am to 3 pm while the construction crew replaces a water service valve. Impacted areas will include the first block of 2nd Ave NW.  It is not anticipated that the shutdown will extend beyond the areas shown in the attached map – streets highlighted in red are the impacted areas for the water shut down. While we do not anticipate the shut down extending beyond the areas shown, it is possible that further areas may be impacted in the event that existing water valves do not perform adequately and isolate the work area.

NOTICE: Should the necessary water valves not hold for this temporary shutdown as expected, further isolation attempts would be required and may result in water loss for a much larger area. It is possible that all areas from 3rd Street North down to the railroad tracks may be without water during this timeframe due to the layout of the valves within town.

PUBLIC PARKING DURING CONSTRUCTION

Please remember that parking in the downtown area to access businesses can be accomplished by parking in the street right-of-way near the downtown area. No parking is allowed in private parking designated zones or the construction zone. The Union Bank parking lot and Bronson’s parking lot have been impacted by general public parking. These parking lot areas are intended only for patrons of those businesses. Additionally, there is private parking behind the business multiplex that is only for the owners of the property/businesses. Patrons cannot park in these areas as they are private parking spaces.

USE OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY (STREETS)

Streets may be used to park your vehicle, so you may access businesses within the construction zone on either side of Main Street. Additionally, you may use the parking area off Railroad Street (next to the grain elevators) for parking to access businesses on the south side of Main Street.

Thank you for your continued cooperation during construction operations.

The parking lot for Bronson’s Supervalu is open on both the east and west side.

The parking lot for the business multiplex is open on the east side entering and exiting from 1st Ave NW.
