North Houser Street Tiling 001 August 2, 2019 (JPG)Repairs to the section of North Houser Street from Lucas Street to Hershey Avenue began on Monday, July 15, when this section closed to traffic. This section will remain closed until the repair work is completed. Residents who normally use this section of North Houser Street are advised to use the Highway 61 bypass. Residents are also reminded that Fletcher Avenue remains closed to traffic from Hershey Avenue to the top of the hill.

Saw cutting of the areas marked for repair on North Houser Street is nearly complete with the prime contractor, Heuer Construction, anticipating pouring the concrete patches in the south bound lane starting Monday, August 5, 2019, weather permitting. Tiling on the east side of the street is nearly complete and will be followed by pouring the concrete patches in the north bound lane.

City project managers are optimistic that this section of North Houser Street will be reopened prior to the start of the new school year.
