In the community meeting held with Elcor and MNDOT on Friday those attending were told that the bridge would be open to local traffic and that beginning Tuesday Elcor would be grinding the road surface down to gravel. Tuesday, Elcor said, would be one of the few days during the project that at least one way traffic would not be available.
During the construction there might be flag men directing traffic;however, the plan is to allow local traffic during the road reconstruction.
While any given intersection is being worked on, the other intersections within the scope of the project will be open to cross traffic.
When 4th Street is being worked on Elcor has a plan to place a temp road using Riverside park so traffic can get to 4th Street West.
Ninth street will be closed for one day during the project while underground utilities are being worked on, local routes around that intersection will remain open.
I suggested the possibility of getting a person from MNDOT to be on-site (or in a restaurant) at least one day a week to serve as a contact person for business owners to touch base with questions and concerns. Elcor said they would get back to me on that item.
