Kinney & Sons are getting close to starting to removing concrete pavement, sidewalks and driveways on N. Jackson Street as soon as Wednesday August 18th. Once this starts the N. Jackson St. & W. Madison St. intersection will be entirely blocked off to traffic in all directions. The Public will be able to access the county parking lot at the SE Corner of the N. Jackson & W. Madison St. intersection off W. Madison St. from the East. This project is estimated to take 4-5 weeks to complete. There will be no public access to N. Jackson St. between W. Monroe St. and W. Madison St.
Hickey Contracting will start paving the north side of E. Monroe St. Thursday August 19th at 6:15 A.M. They will be paving East to West and the Ready Mix trucks will be coming in on N. Iris St. and traveling west on E. Monroe St. No one is allowed on E. Monroe St. so that Hickey’s can finish installing all forms, grading and installing the reinforcing steel. Once crews can get on the new paving they will begin replacing driveways to homes on the north side of Monroe St. and setting forms on the south side to pave the south side of East Monroe.
