Paving will continue today on the Highway 7 widening project. If all goes well all of the asphalt for the entire project should be complete by the end of the day today. A little more than 1/2 of Northwestern still needs to be paved and there are a few driveways that are left to be paved.
Due to rain on Friday of last week, the traffic signalization contractor did not get traffic lights installed as anticipated. The City anticipates this occurring early this week. Once paving operations are completed, the painting company should mobilize to perform application of pavement markings.
The project is getting close to completion. The City again thanks the community for their patience during construction.

Highway 7 Widening Update
The shoulders in Phase A of the project will be completed today, (Friday October 2nd). This area is at the DOT Driveway and then continues west.
On Monday, the contractor will be switching traffic control over to partially close the Barton Street intersection to all traffic and start the pavement removals for Phase C of the project. Phase C is from the DOT driveway east. The south side of the Barton Street intersection will be completely closed to traffic during this phase.
During this phase access to the Fitness and Health Center driveway and the Iowa DOT yard will be from the west. To allow this access the intersection of Northwestern Drive will be opened to local traffic only traveling east to the Fitness and Health Center and the Iowa DOT. All other traffic should continue to follow the detour route. The map below shows the access route to the Fitness Center and DOT yard.
The City apologizes for any inconvenience this project has caused and appreciates the cooperation of the community.
