As you know we are getting ready for a MAJOR facelift to Highway 51 here is what you need to know:
- The contractor is scheduled to begin patching operations on April 1st weather permitting.
- They will be opening all lanes to traffic for the weekend before the eclipse.
- They are estimating between 4 & 6 weeks of patching.
- The median work will begin after the patching is complete. The plan is to start on the south end (right after the bridge) of the project and move north (just to the other side of County Highway 20). Expect this tentatively early to mid-May. Once done we will have new medians with stamped concrete!
***The progress schedule should be looked at as more an order of operations for the project than a hard schedule, and they say that once construction begins in April there will be steady work on the project throughout the remainder of the year.**
We will do our best to keep you updated as we gain more information! Your patience is greatly appreciated as we improve our “front door” to the community!
