The contractor has indicated they are looking to start construction phase 2 the week of May 12, 2025.

The construction process will start by grinding up the edges of the roadway where the new concrete curb and gutter will be installed. Drain tile and new culvert installation will follow right behind. The contractor will then grind the remaining existing pavement and underlying gravel base together to create a new gravel base. A new layer of asphalt will be placed once the gravel has been shaped and compacted.

The contractor estimates the second phase of construction will take about a month to complete, but schedules may change based on weather conditions and other factors. Access to your home will be maintained for most of the project, but there will be periods when construction equipment will cause delays in getting in and out of your home.
