3-week closure planned

Director of Public Works Mark Westenskow said the upcoming closure of the Second South underpass is due to the Rock Springs waterline project.

Westenskow said the project has hit a snag and due to the geology of the surrounding area, they will need to open cut 50 feet of road along the street to place the waterline.

“If there were a way around this, they would do it,” he said.

Wesenskow said the work is scheduled to take place during a three-week timeframe, starting July 16. He does anticipate the work to be completed before the contractor’s Aug. 4 deadline.
