Another Update (As of 11:15 am on Monday August 18)

Hilltop Street/McCarthy Street will be completed today. However, the contractor has asked that we do not open the road up to traffic until tomorrow due to the temperatures.

Also, they have informed us that they will not be back for another week or so to complete the milling/paving work on Steven Drive, Patti Court, Diane Court, and Laverne Court. They have told us that they will give us a few days notice before starting back up. We will update the post again once we know when they will be back on site.

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by this construction work. Please contact the Utility Office at 618-282-3339 if you have any questions.
