Avenue should soon be complete

Anyone who has tried to navigate his or her way through 18th Avenue NW probably has been frustrated with the rough road, sloping entrances to businesses and hesitant drivers at the intersections. Making a trip to the grocery store seems much more of a hassle because of it all.
But according to the the Mower County Highway Department engineer, we will only have to put up with it for another two months, when the first phase of the project is scheduled to be completed.
By that time, both sides of the road will be paved and the curb and gutter will be installed.
The only thing that could throw it off track is the weather, but we would hope an experienced construction company like Crane Creek would be prepared for that kind of setback.
The outcome of this project will help everyone navigate the area better. We hope the project continues to stay on track so we can enjoy those renovations as soon as possible.
