BROOKINGS – The City of Brookings asphalt paving project with Bowes Construction continues. On Monday, the next phase of milling will begin and will last two to three days.
The streets being milled will be temporarily closed during the milling process and then reopened until they are ready to be paved, at which time they will again be closed one to two days. Bowes plans to work the following streets and alleys during the Sept. 26-28 timeframe:
• Second Street from Medary Avenue to 15th Avenue
• Third Street from 17th Avenue to 22nd Avenue
• Alley connecting Eighth Avenue and Ninth Avenue between Third Street and Fourth Street
• Alley connecting Seventh Avenue and Eighth Avenue between Eighth Street and Ninth Street
The city’s contractor asks that vehicles do not park on these streets during the milling and paving work, and drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes during construction. Vehicles that are parked on the street during the milling and paving construction will be subject to towing at the property owner’s expense.
“We would like to remind the public to be cautious when driving or walking through the project area, especially around work areas under construction. We appreciate everyone’s patience during the project,” a city news release says.
Questions may be directed to Bowes Construction at 605-693-3557 or the City Engineering Office at 605-692-6629.
