Please plan extra travel time and expect delays on paving days. Residents within the work area will have access during most of the work, but may experience longer delays getting to/from your home, especially once the new asphalt is placed. There is usually a time period of a few hours where vehicles are not allowed to drive on the new asphalt until it is cooled/dry. Please find an alternate place to park or plan extra travel time on paving days.

Pavement patching on some smaller sections of roadway will be taking place sometime in September. These streets include:

• Glen Eagles Road, between Glen Eagles Place and Prestwick,

• Hwy 43/State Street, southbound lane between A Avenue and the railroad tracks (at night).

May 16, 2024

A contractor has now been hired (Knife River).
