City OKs College Avenue closure to allow gas-main relocation and reconstruction work
Summary
Engineering briefed the board on a proposed closure of College Avenue to accommodate a phase of main-street reconstruction and a gas-main relocation; InfraSource will begin work Aug. 10 with a requested contingency period and the board approved the closure as requested.
Andrew Blimp, an engineering representative, told the board the College Avenue closure from Lincoln Way East/US 33 to Century Drive is needed for a phase of reconstruction and to relocate a gas main. InfraSource will lead the work and the presenter said crews hope to finish quickly but requested up to 12 weeks as a contingency; the board approved the closure and timing as presented, recorded as unanimous.
Engineering discussed traffic-control plans to coordinate the closure with an overlapping Century Drive lane closure and said the contractors modified detours to rely on county roads. A contractor representative emphasized safety measures and trenching precautions, and said the team will leave a lane for emergency access where feasible. The board approved the motion to authorize the closure and directed staff to continue coordination with adjacent projects.
