Emporia’s Street Rehab process is into the second and final phase before closing down for the year.
Perhaps the most visible project on the list is repaving East 12th from Commercial all the way to Whittier. Crews began the milling process this week before new pavement is laid.
Eleven other work zones have either started the milling and overlay process or will start soon:
*Ninth from Elm to Lawrence
*Belmont Court
*Congress at the railroad underpass
*Elm from Sixth to Grove
*Mechanic from South to Second
*Mount Vernon Terrace at 21st
*Old Manor Road
*Randolph from Neosho to West
*Soden Road
*South Exchange
*Trowman Way
Curb and gutter and handicapped-accessible sidewalk ramps comprised the first half of the project.
This comes as West 30th has finally reopened to traffic between Prairie and Crestview after better than four months of work. That project involved new pavement, curb and gutter and new stormwater drainage.
Emporia City Engineer Jim Ubert will update construction projects on KVOE’s Talk of Emporia at 11:06 am Friday.
