2025 Construction Projects

Construction Updates 

Arlington Drive Bridge Replacement Update:  The contractor is continuing to construct the last of the bridge wingwalls this week and into next week, weather permitting. Due to the winter weather, this project will be on hold until next spring when the asphalt plants reopen. At that time, the contractor will return to pave the street, and the bridge will reopen to traffic. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your continued patience and understanding.
