Monday, June 5 -  A temporary signal has been installed at the intersection of 14th and Hwy 2 as the Burlington Northern Sante Fe (BNSF) Railway replaces and modifies the crossing pads just south of the intersection. Southbound traffic on 14th Street will be re-routed to South 27th Street during this closure.

Following the BNSF work, the City will begin work to widen the single right-turn lane from Highway 2 to South 14th Street into two lanes. The project also includes traffic signal improvements and work on the medians on both the north and south sides of the intersection. All work will be done during non-peak traffic hours, and the widening is expected to be completed by late July.

For more information on this phase, please contact Charles Wilcox, Public Works and Utilities, at 441-7532.
