Public works reports sewer-lining nearly complete; paving, manhole and thermoplastic work planned

The city's public works director told council the sewer-lining project is approximately 95% complete; crews are awaiting one section of liner to be manufactured and installed to finish the work.

The director also updated council on paving work on West Main and Bridal (bridge/wing pours). He said some full-depth sections were poured and the westbound lane deck will be poured and allowed to cure for about a week before crews switch to the other wing. Manhole and catch-basin adjustments are expected to be finished late this week or early next week, followed by thermoplastic pavement markings. He noted thermoplastic application is temperature sensitive and said the crew might do uptown work at night if conditions permit.

The items were reported as updates; no formal council action was required. Council did not discuss contract awards, additional funding, or closures in detail during the report. Public works staff will proceed with the scheduled construction steps and return with specifics if needed.
