Project Description
The scope of the 100 East & Uranium Avenue project includes full-depth roadway reconstruction, street lighting, utility upgrades, and landscaping. Final improvements may include:
Additional enhancements include the widening of the shared use path along the eastern side of 100 East, and the construction of a new shared use path along the northern side of Uranium Avenue. Parallel parking stalls will also be added on the eastern side of 100 East.
The contractor will take measures to minimize dust and noise during construction. However, for the duration of the roadway reconstruction, it is recommended that City Market be accessed via Highway 191 / South Main Street or Grand Avenue.
Barring unforeseen delays, the 100 East & Uranium Avenue reconstruction is expected to be completed before the start of the 2025–2026 school year.
