MONROE - There has been considerable progress on the 8th Street Project with concrete crews pouring curb and gutter from 6th Avenue West to 1st Avenue.
Roadway crews focused their efforts on the east half of the project by removing the old road base and replacing with new stone from 2nd Avenue to Wisconsin 69. Contractors completed the top slab of the concrete box culvert at Honey Creek, while storm crews placed drainage inlets in the Blain's Farm & Fleet parking lot.
Next week electrical crews will install bases for the decorative light poles while road crews work Saturday to replace old road base at 6th Avenue West. They will backfill the box culvert extension in preparation for new sidewalk, and another crew will begin preparations for the culvert liner under Ruda Chevrolet.
Concrete crews will continue working east, pouring curb and gutter and driveways from 1st Avenue to Highway 69, which will affect numerous driveways along the north side. Work crews will do their best to maintain access to the properties, but may close half of the driveway at a time or the entire driveway where a secondary access point is available.
Such moves will be limited to the shortest possible timeframe.
Contractors and project managers thank those who attended the public informational meeting held last week.
