Galena & Main Improvements
Project Summary
In anticipation for winter conditions and to invest in important infrastructure, we will be working on upgrades to increase safety for pedestrians, enhance stormwater systems and update the bus stop at Main Street and Galena Street.
Additional Information
Work Activities: demo of sidewalks, roadway, curb and gutter, trenching activities, sawcutting, utility work, masonry
Traffic Impacts & Detours: Pedestrian and business access will remain open. It is expected that both westbound lanes will be open for the majority of the work, but there will be periodic right lane closures for construction access. Trenching activities along the west side of Galena Street from Main Street to Hopkins Avenue will require periodic alternate routing. Follow signage and flagger instructions.
