The following updates include information provided by the city.
1. Work on Grand Avenue Parkway is expected to begin Dec. 6.
During a Nov. 9 City Council meeting, officials approved a nearly $2.76 million bid from Terra Path Construction to take the project reins.
City documents state Grand Avenue Parkway was reconstructed in 2017 from Viki Lynn Place to Picadilly Drive, but the project resulted in numerous pavement failures and distress areas.
An April 2019 evaluation identified pavement conditions and root causes of the failures, and subsequently, in March, the city contracted with engineering firm Kimley Horn to redesign that portion of Grand Avenue Parkway.
City information states the project will involve two separate phases as part of its traffic control plan, and access to adjacent properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.
