Road Report: Oct. 20, 2025

Construction season is here, so we’re back with our weekly look at what projects are done, where you’ll find traffic impacts and what’s scheduled next.

What’s underway

North Drive: Work continues on the bridge maintenance project on North Drive between Main and Fourth avenues.

On the bridge over the railroad tracks, the epoxy deck seal is complete in the eastbound lane and is in progress in the westbound lane.

The railing repainting is in progress, and other miscellaneous maintenance work is also in progress.

This bridge remains open to traffic. On the bridge over the diversion channel, the concrete overlay on the bridge itself is complete, and crews are  working on drainage improvements, replacing the bridge approaches and repainting the railings.

This bridge will remain closed until late this month or early November.

All work on these bridges is expected to be complete by the end of the year.

 72nd Street North: Work is underway on 72nd Street North between Seubert Avenue and County Highway 125/476th Avenue.

Grading work is complete, and crews are installing sanitary sewer and water main to serve a new subdivision being constructed east of County Highway 125/476th Avenue.

After the utility work is complete later this fall, 72nd Street North will be returned to a rural section gravel roadway.

Additional underground utility work is expected to take place next year, with paving expected to follow at a later date.
