MUSCATINE, Iowa – Milling of Park Avenue and 2nd Street from the Mad Creek bridge to Washington Street will begin on Monday (Aug. 23) , and drivers can expect traffic delays as the work progresses throughout next week.
Drivers are urged to find alternate routes of travel while the milling and asphalt overlay process is conducted. Manatt’s, the prime contractor for the Park Avenue 4-to-3 Lane Conversion Project, will have flaggers on site to direct traffic, but drivers can expect long delays due to the truck traffic.
Manatt’s will begin milling the center lanes at the Mad Creek bridge Monday morning and continue up to the Washington intersection. The milling will continue with the outside lanes. Once completed, this section will receive an asphalt overlay Wednesday and Thursday.
The contractor will then begin milling and putting down an asphalt overlay on the section from Washington Street to just south of Harrison Street past the Colorado/Clay intersection. Again, drivers will be urged to find alternate routes due to the congestion with construction traffic.
