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

What’s done

Work on Kiwanis Avenue between 26th and 41st streets is done and open to traffic! There won’t be any lane closures this week during the Sanford International, but the following week, there might be some intermittent lane closures for final cleanup work.

What’s underway

Traffic on 49th Street from Arway Drive to Carnegie Circle will be shifted to the newly constructed south two lanes Tuesday to allow crews to begin work on the second phase of this project.

This work is expected to be complete by the end of October.

What’s next

Accessible curb ramp and sidewalk repairs on 10th Street between Dakota and Minnesota avenues begin Tuesday.

Various lane and sidewalk closures will be in place while this work is occurring. Work should be done in two to three weeks.
