The Engineering Department will be reviewing the 2024 projects for issues covered under the one year warranty. Upon evaluation, contractors will be on-site to make those corrections and any remaining punchlist work.

River Street Project (West City Limits to Fleet Street): 
The River Street reconstruction project was recently awarded to Haas Sons, Inc. The project includes removal of the existing pavement, concrete paving, asphalt paving, minor storm sewer work, and grading. The contractor is anticipating starting 4/2/2025 with mobilization, erosion control and traffic control.

Following the initial setup, Phase 1 will begin, tentatively scheduled for 4/7/2025. Phase 1 will switch traffic to operate bi-directionally on the westbound River Street lanes while widening and storm sewer work occurs on the east bound lanes.

Following Phase 1, Phase 2 will begin, tentatively scheduled for April 15th. During Phase 2 traffic will be switched to operate bi-directionally on the eastbound River Street lanes while work begins constructing the new westbound lanes.

Information on future phases will be included in future updates.
