Congress Avenue Street Reconstruction and Overlay
CIP #850-607-4100-2800-6203
Summary
The Congress Avenue Street Reconstruction and Overlay Project began
April 29. The outside lanes from César Chávez to 10th St. have been
reconstructed in reinforced concrete. A second contract was let recently
to pave the inside lanes and to reconstruct the block from 10th to 11th.
As a result of cost increases since the project was originally bid in
1993 and design changes, it was necessary to re-bid a portion of the
work.
Status
Paving from César Chávez to 11th St. and reconstruction of the block
from 10th St. to 11th St. is underway.
Description
The utmost consideration will be given to enabling customers and
clients to reach businesses on Congress Avenue. Alleys will also remain
accessible on weekdays for business owners, their employees and, most
important, their suppliers. Sidewalks will not be obstructed at any
time.
