June 15, 2025 – July 15, 2025, Completed Work:

Sioux Avenue: After storm sewer pipe, drop inlets, and utility installation, the contractor completed earthwork, base course, and concrete for the new westbound lanes. Once the concrete reached strength, traffic was shifted to the outside eastbound and westbound lanes. The left-turn bay was then constructed with base course and concrete, and the intersection was striped. Traffic was restored to its pre-construction configuration on July 9. Lower Pierre Street reopened as a southbound, one-way street, and detour signing to Lower Pierre Street businesses on Central, Highland, and Dakota avenues was removed.
Pierre Street (Sioux Avenue to one block north): The contractor completed water line installation, set drop inlets and manholes, installed storm sewer, and completed undercut and grading work.
Euclid Avenue (East Pleasant Drive to Prospect Avenue): The Prospect Avenue/Euclid Avenue intersection was closed as construction advanced north. Base course was placed through Capital Avenue, which reopened to east-west traffic with a gravel crossing under a stop condition. Access from the north and south remained closed. From Pleasant Drive north, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and ADA ramps were placed. Concrete paving was completed just north of the Euclid Avenue/East Pleasant Avenue intersection.

Anticipated Work July 15, 2025 – Aug. 15, 2025:

Sioux Avenue/Lower Pierre Street: Traffic signal installation is expected by late July. Until then, pedestrians will continue to be routed from Sioux Avenue to Pleasant Drive via Central and Highland avenues.
Pierre Street (Sioux Avenue to one block north): Curb and gutter, sidewalks, ADA ramps, concrete paving, and permanent striping will be completed. This segment will open to traffic from Sioux Avenue with a cul-de-sac near the railroad overpass to allow traffic to U-turn back to Sioux Avenue.
Pierre Street (One block north of Sioux Avenue to Pleasant Drive): Surfacing removal, new water line placement, sanitary sewer installation, storm sewer, and drop inlet work will begin.
Euclid Avenue (East Pleasant Drive to north of Capital Avenue): Curb and gutter, sidewalks, ADA ramps, asphalt paving, and striping will be completed through the Capital Avenue intersection, reopening the area to traffic and pedestrians.
Euclid Avenue (Capital Avenue to north of Prospect Avenue): The contractor will continue moving north of Prospect Avenue with surfacing removal, utility relocation, new water line installation, storm sewer work, and undercutting.
