Road Construction

Today the Contractor installed topsoil, seed, and hay mulching along Iroquois Avenue. They also adjusted storm and sewer structures along Iroquois Avenue. 

Tomorrow the Contractor will continue to adjust storm and sewer structures along Iroquois Avenue. They will also attend to driveways where necessary in preparation for the storms at the end of the week.

As a part of this project, along Iroquois Avenue where the roadway has been rebuilt the disturbed driveway aprons will be replaced. The City engineers have heard from numerous residents they would like additional paving on their driveway past the scope of the project. If you are interested in additional paving please email the City engineers with your name, address, and a small description of the work you would like done. The Contractor is very busy this time of year, so they can’t make any promises the work will be done, and since they are so busy they expect the additional work to be expensive. But they will pass along to the contractor the information they receive, and either SD Ireland or the City engineers will reach back out to you.

The Iroquois Avenue and Orchard Terrace intersection is now open to local traffic. The intersection is still closed to through traffic as there are numerous obstructions in the roadway such as storm and sewer structures, and waterline valve boxes. A detour is set up via South Street to direct traffic around the work area.

24 South Summit Street, 101-117 Iroquois Avenue, 119 Iroquois Avenue, 107 Cherokee Avenue, 108 Cherokee Avenue, and 9 Algonquin Avenue, please use either the South Summit Street entrance of Iroquois Avenue or the Cherokee Avenue entrance of Algonquin Avenue to access your residence.

Residents of Orchard Terrace Cul-De-Sac, you may use any entrance of the Iroquois Avenue and Orchard Terrace intersection to access your residence, please use caution around the obstructions in the intersection.

The Contractor provides their best prediction of their next work cycle. Please keep in mind that construction is a fluid process and sometimes plans must change based upon weather, conditions found in the field, or other factors.
