3rd Ave SW Sees Progress

Nov 26, 2013

On Tuesday morning a half block of 3rd Street Southwest was open between Historic Franklin and the U.S. Post Office.

With the Jamestown Sanitary Sewer Project, Interstate Engineering reported Friday afternoon that 3rd Street SE is open from 11th Ave SE to Railroad Drive E.

Previously…

Jamestown (CSi Nov 15) – Two months ago,  3rd Ave SW by the Post Office was closed.  While it remains closed today, the bore was completed Thursday Nov 21 and the casing was being installed under the railroad tracks.  

Property owners were informed that 3rd Ave SW will not get pavement,  and they will have to wait until sometime in May of 2014, depending on spring weather.   One block of 3 Av SW will be gravel for the winter.

The 2nd Street SW bridge is estimated to remain closed until early December, until work on the lift station is completed.

Motorists going to SW Jamestown area west of the river will have to continue to detour, using 2nd Street to 4th Ave SW,  north to 1st St,  and then west.  Use 4th Ave to get into the CSi parking lot thru the backway.   If you are going to the Recycle Center,  you will have to loop around Historic Franklin.

Once the casing and sewer pipe is fullly installed,  the 1st Street & 3rd Av SW intersection should be graveled and opened for traffic.
