Depot Avenue Water Main Project

July 13, 2018 UPDATE – Garney Construction and subcontractor crews completed paving work on the section of W. Fifth Avenue between N. Broadway and Williams Street on Thursday. W. Fifth Avenue has been reopened to normal traffic flow. The contractor will have to close W. Fifth Avenue at the Williams Street intersection for a brief period next week for paving. KUB will issue a notice prior to that closure. Crews continued installation of the 36-inch main along Williams Street between W. Fifth Avenue and progressing south toward W. Magnolia Avenue. Barring weather or construction delays, Garney plans to close Williams Street at W. Magnolia Avenue on Monday, July 16, and Tuesday, July 17, to install the 36-inch main across the intersection. Work will continue toward Depot Avenue next week.
