Construction Updates & Project Info Map of Traffic Flow during Phase 1 (pdf) updated 4-18-2008 Reconstruction of the south half of Second Street is currently underway. Westbound Highway 30 traffic is detoured one block north to Third Street and eastbound Highway 30 traffic is on the north side of Second Street. Second Street is now "ONE-WAY, ONE LANE EASTBOUND TRAFFIC ONLY." Third Street will continue to carry two-way traffic. Businesses along the project can be easily accessed from Third or First Streets. The intersections at Clay Street, Broadwell Avenue and Adams Street are open to allow traffic to cross north or south through the project. Traffic is flowing smoothly through the signals at the Broadwell/Third and the Broadwell/Second intersections with minimal congestion problems. Eastbound Highway 30 traffic now continues east past Greenwich Street one block to Clark Street, then south one block to First Street. First Street between Greenwich Street and Clark Street has been changed to allow Two-Way Traffic, which allows traffic to turn west to access businesses from First Street. Only one half block of South Greenwich Street has been removed, and nearby businesses can be accessed through the alley by driving north from First Street. The primary work to be completed this spring is the construction of new storm sewer and water main. This work will continue in the coming weeks from Broadwell Avenue east to Greenwich Street. Important Access Information: Access will be provided to all businesses during construction. The majority of driveways and intersections on the south side of Second Street will be closed during most of the first phase of construction. Clay Street (near Conoco Gas Station) and Adams Street (by McDonalds and Caseys) will remain open for most of this first phase to allow access to First Street. Broadwell Avenue to the south will remain open at all times, and will be reconstructed half at a time. Most businesses on the south side of Second Street are best accessed from First Street. Safety: Since Highway 30 traffic is reduced to a single lane, traffic congestion can be expected. Please allow yourself extra time to drive through the project. Please be courteous to construction workers. Please slow down, be patient and remember to exercise caution. Remember, fines are double in construction zones. |

Information updated February 2008
Construction Overview: This roadway improvement project will reconstruct US-30/Second Street from a four lane urban curbed section to a five lane urban curbed section. This project will increase traffic capacity and decrease the number of accidents by moving turning traffic into the common left turn lane. New sidewalks will be constructed with this project.
Lighting/Signals/Signing: Street lighting will be updated. The signals at the intersection of Second Street and Broadwell Avenue will be replaced.
Drainage/Water Service: A new storm sewer system will be constructed to improve drainage and eliminate the nuisance of persistent standing water. A new 10” water main will be constructed under the south side of the roadway.
Phasing: US-30 will be constructed one half at a time, beginning with the south half. Eastbound traffic will remain on Second Street at all times during construction. Westbound traffic will be detoured to Third Street for the length of the project. Access will be provided to all businesses during construction.
General Schedule: Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2008 and end in late fall of 2008. It should take one construction season to complete the majority of construction activities. There may be some carryover of minor activities that will be completed in the spring of 2009.
