Latest City update regarding the 13th St. reconstruction:

AUI Inc. will begin mobilizing for the second phase of 13th St. reconstruction on Monday December 7th. Traffic control will be set up on Monday December 14th. The first phase of this project will extend from just South of Main to just South of Grand along 13th Street. This section of 13th Street will be completely closed. All businesses located in the first phase will be accessible from the side streets and alleys; with NO access directly off of 13th Street. Grand will be completely closed at 13th Street.

Please pay close attention to construction signs, detour signs, business access signs etc.. The City encourages everyone to use 7th Street and 20th Street to navigate around the construction project as these intersections are controlled (traffic lights) at Main Street.

This phase of the project is projected to last 5 to 6 months
