Project Update

The project will include new traffic signals at the intersection of CSAH 7 (Hillside Avenue SW) & 13^th Street SW, as well as new dedicated turn lanes for southbound traffic into the commercial businesses south of CSAH 7.  There will also be a dedicated right turn from southbound 13^th Street SW onto westbound CSAH 7. 

Project progress:

• Construction started Monday, October 5th, on the south portion of CSAH 7.

• North/south traffic on 13^th Street SW is currently open. 

• Traffic into/out of commercial businesses south of highway currently open.

• Paving of the south portion scheduled to occur the week of October 19th.

• Work will then shift to north portion of CSAH 7 approx. October 26th.  Southbound traffic on 13^th Street SW will be temporarily detoured via 6^th Ave SW to 10^th St SW to 8^th Ave SW to Main Street to CSAH 7 (Hillside Ave SW) to avoid the work zone.

• Final lift of paving is scheduled to occur week of November 9^th.

• Installation of the traffic signals is dependent upon timing of manufacturing and delivery of materials.
