July 28, new street lights were powered up to signal the completion of the roadway, sidewalk, and brick paving on the south side of Sixth Street and traffic was switched from the north to the new south roadway on July 29. The south side of Sixth is open to one westbound lane of through-traffic with a parking lane for delivery vehicles and customers. Work next began on the north roadway and on July 30, crews removed the old north side light poles. By the end of last week, crews completed the pavement removal and excavation and had begun work on the storm sewer.



REVISED PROJECT SCHEDULE

  • Stage One: COMPLETED
  • April 6 to mid-April Mobilize and construct loading zones



  • Stage Two: COMPLETED
  • Late-April to July 31
  • Construct south side of roadway, storm sewer main trunk line, sidewalk, install pavers, signals, lights




  • Stage Three: UNDERWAY
  • August—October 31

Traffic on side roads approaching Sixth from the south will be able to turn onto Sixth. Traffic on side roads approaching from the north may experience intersection closures as needed, two at a time, alternating closures between Wisconsin and College and alternating closures between Park and Villa. Pedestrians can access businesses on< the north side where a 5’ width of sidewalk will be maintained. Pouring the concrete paving for the north roadway will begin on the east and progress west. When the north roadway is complete, likely around mid-September, new sidewalks will be installed also working from east to west. Crews are starting on the east end in hopes of being ready for “Party on the Pavement” October 3.
