Emporia’s annual Street Rehab project is nearing a pair of milestones.
City Engineer Jim Ubert says the concrete repair and replacement process is nearing the halfway mark.
Meanwhile, the asphalt paving process is getting close to the 20-percent completion mark, with work on Prairie Lane and Woodland Street finished and work underway on Ninth Avenue from Prairie to Elm and from Lawrence to West. Ninth is closed Monday between Prairie and West for paving.
Twelve different work zones are involved in the Street Rehab process, with work set to continue into November. The full list can be found below.
Meanwhile, early work continues for significant road and drainage improvements near Road 180 and Americus Road with construction ongoing at Evergy’s new service center just west of that intersection. Storm sewer, box bridge and multi-use path improvements are part of that project along with paving. Work near that road junction will continue into summer 2023.
