Road Resurfacing Work Scheduled on Several City Roadways

July 27, 2020 — The City is beginning its 2020 roadway maintenance project in August. Each year, several streets are upgraded or reconstructed to maintain and develop the City’s infrastructure and optimize traffic flow.

This year’s project includes work on portions of the following roadways: Elligsen Rd., Day Rd., Burns Way, Main St., and Parkway Ave. The project is providing new asphalt or concrete pavement, pedestrian curb ramps, roadway striping and pedestrian signal improvements.

While existing pedestrian curb ramps within the project area are being reconstructed to meet current federal standards, pedestrian access is being maintained during construction. The City is also upgrading pedestrian signals to current federal accessibility standards.

Drivers and pedestrians may experience delays on these roadways while construction is taking place; curb ramp constructions require adjustments to signal timing to always account for presence of pedestrians while crosswalk buttons are disabled.

The Elligsen Rd. improvements are scheduled to begin first, by Aug. 4. All upgrades are scheduled to be complete by the end of November. Project areas are outlined and scheduled work summarized below:

Elligsen Road – Resurfacing is taking place between Parkway Ave/Argyle Square and the eastern City limits. Construction is scheduled on weeknights to reduce impacts. Washington County is also performing street maintenance work on the portion of Elligsen Road from the City limits to 65th Avenue to the east. The City and County are working to coordinate these efforts; the duration and timing of construction may differ.

Day Road – Reconstruction is scheduled in both directions on Day Road, with the intent to repair the most deteriorated sections of roadway. One lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained at all times. The work on Day Road will be coordinated with the Garden Acres Road construction.

Burns Way – Where Burns Way intersects with Parkway Center Drive, a section of asphalt will be replaced with concrete. Traffic is likely to be reduced to one lane for the duration of this work; Burns Way would function as a one-way street temporarily.

Main Street – Resurfacing takes place between Parkway Avenue and through the Town Center Loop intersection. Traffic likely will be reduced to one lane in each direction (no dedicated turn lanes) for the duration of this work.

Parkway Avenue – Resurfacing takes place between Memorial Drive and Main Street. Traffic is likely to be reduced to one lane and flagged through the work zone during construction.
