Oshkosh Street and Alcan/House projects on schedule; Wolf River Ave closure planned for final asphalt work
Summary
Public works reported Oshkosh Street phase 1 curb and gutter nearing final prep, an upcoming two-day closure of Wolf River Avenue for asphalt restoration, and House Road/Alcan Road projects slated to start July 14 with notification boards to be installed before work begins.
The Department of Public Works told the Common Council on June 17 that several street projects are progressing on schedule and that motorists should expect short-term closures for final paving. Oshkosh Street contractors are finishing the Washington Street intersection and will complete curb and gutter and prep for asphalt placement. When the asphalt crew arrives, Wolf River Avenue will be closed for up to two days for final restoration.
Public works also reported that the House Road and Alcan Road project is scheduled to start July 14. The department said temporary public information signs (PCMs) will be placed the week of the start date to notify residents of upcoming construction. Work on sanitary mains and curb-and-gutter was also described as ongoing in other neighborhoods.
Why it matters: The schedule and sequencing affect local traffic and businesses. Officials said Oshkosh Street will remain in binder in some stretches while other intersections receive finished asphalt. No votes or budget changes were taken at the council meeting; these were progress updates from DPW staff.
Staff asked residents to watch for posted notices and follow temporary closures and detours. The department did not provide a final completion date for all segments during the meeting.
