Construction Update: 11th Avenue, Sherman, Blake

Quick construction update …

The new-and-improved 11th Avenue is now open, with the construction project between Milwaukee and Michigan Avenues nearly complete. (Check out the photo below.)

The road will be home to the South Milwaukee Downtown Market once again starting Thursday, July 31, as the market moves from its temporary home at 12th and Milwaukee to its traditional location.

The South Milwaukee City Council also approved at its meeting Tuesday spending more than $250,000 to repave Sherman Avenue Fifth to Ninth and Blake Avenue Eighth to Ninth, in addition to water main work on Sherman.

Parkway Drive/17th Avenue Update: Final Paving This Week

Here is the latest update from the city engineer on the Parkway Drive/17th Avenue work.

The big news: The final surface asphalt will be laid late Wednesday and Thursday nights, so the project will be done in time to accomodate spillover traffic from Pennsylvania/Nicholson, which closes Tuesday for upwards of three months to accomodate the widening project.

Of course, please be patient during this work and consider alternate routes. I’ll keep you posted.

Public Works Update: A Closer Look At A Busy Summer And Fall (And Into 2012)

City Engineer Kyle Vandercar has put together an informative summary of all the work that’s been done with city roads, sewers and other public works projects over the summer – and the plan for the remainder of the year.

Check it out here.

On the Parkway Drive/17th Avenue project, one that I’ve been asked more and more about in recent weeks:

Based on video inspection of storm and sanitary facilities completed in August, a significant amount of additional work needs to be included with the contract plans. We still intend to advertise a contract to construct storm and sanitary work this fall/early winter. Road work/paving will be a spring/early summer 2012 project.

I’ll keep you posted on this and other projects when possible.

And check out this update from Oak Creek Patch on the ongoing College Avenue reconstruction project.
