Moving East

Work continues and the crew will start moving east today moving into the area between Northwestern Drive and Vestal Street for the removal of the existing layers of asphalt in that area.

While that removal process is taking place the contractor will continue with the placement of asphalt on the section from Vista Drive to Northwestern Drive today (July 31, 2014).  This "lift" of asphalt will be the second and final lift for this section of road and once the lift has cured the road will re-open to through traffic.

Placing asphalt on West 5th Street

Residents who live in the stretch of West 5th Street from Northwestern to Vestal Street will have limited access to their properties during the first part of the closure via either north or south intersection of Barton Street and West 5th Street.  This access is local access only.

The City is stressing caution when traveling in the area as the road will be rough following removal and there will be sections of the road that are closed off with cones for patching and to protect less stable areas prior to paving.  Again access is for local access only.

Once paving of this section begins the road will be closed to all traffic while the paving is taking place.  The paving portion of the project will take place over a period of two to three days and will be at the end of the closure period.  Please stay tuned to this blog for more updates.
