U.S. Highway 14 - From Philip East Eight Miles



Project Summary:

This project will replace three structures, two box culverts, and construct one new bridge.

Approach grading and pipe replacement will also be included on the project. 

Traffic is rerouted around the work area using the temporary diversions so crews can conduct structure and grading work.

The first phase of work is expected to be completed on Friday, Oct. 25, 2024, with work resuming in spring 2025.
