Making Fones Road safer for people that walk, use a wheelchair, ride a bicycle, or drive.
|
|
|
Starting as early as Monday December 2nd, crews will begin utility verification work on Fones Road between Pacific Avenue and 18th Avenue SE. This work is anticipated to continue through the end of December. Once complete, our contractor will begin relocating and installing new underground utilities. To verify the locations of underground utilities, crews will cut into the existing pavement and use a vacuum truck to safely excavate around the conduit.
