There is still at least a year left on the 24th and Prairie water main replacement project, but there has been steady progress since work began six weeks ago.
The project hits a milestone Thursday with the opening of both drives to the Pavilions shopping center at 24th and Industrial. Also, 24th opens to two-way traffic from Industrial Drive to Presbyterian Manor’s east drive.
The latest street closures, effective Thursday (today), include 24th from the Presbyterian Manor east drive to Apple Lane and Sunset Lake Drive to thru traffic and 24th between Apple Lane/Sunset Lake Drive and Prairie Street to all traffic.
Water mains dating back in some locations to the 1920s are being replaced with bigger lines from 24th and Industrial east to Prairie and south to 12th.
