City of Osawatomie Public Works Director Michele Silsbee, has published a series of construction updates related to the previously announced full-depth reconstruction of 6th Street. The nearly $6.3 million project is planned to encompass almost the entire year, after kicking off in November of last year with necessary pre-construction activities. City staff has tentatively planned the first full street closure to allow road construction to formally begin.
Beginning Monday, February 12th, weather and conditions permitting, both lanes of traffic will be closed from Kelly avenue to the Levee in order for contractors to install stormwater on both sides and make significant changes to the street design and elevation. This closure will include half of the 6th and Kelly intersection. Conditions permitting, the closure will last approximately one month and marks the official start of the “street and storm” portion of the reconstruction project.
