Highway 54 at the Stoplight to Begin
Construction to begin March 15! Finally!
May 20, 2009
Bids have been let and the project has been awarded to Beachner Construction. Construction is scheduled to start March 15th.. The City had hoped to begin sooner as the wait has been extensive to say the least. This project will renovate US Highway 54 at the intersection of main street in Eureka.
The project has been several years in the works and is finally coming around. The old asphalt from the intersection at the light west to the beginning of the corner of Oak St will be removed and replaced with concrete. This will provide a smooth and lasting surface for River St. traffic in Eureka. Detours will send south bound traffic on Main street destined west on 54 over to walnut by first or second street. There will be no left turn up Main street for East bound 54 traffic. Traffic on River will be routed to one side of the highway and then to the other side to allow for construction. The right turn lane from Main onto River will be closed while the North half of River St. is under renovation. Delivery truck traffic destined for down town will be routed to Jefferson st to 7th st to down town.
