The City of Kearney Public Works and Nielsen Contracting would like to update the public on the current construction progress on the 11th Street roadway replacement from Avenue A to Avenue F.
During the past several months, extensive underground utility installation has occurred, including storm sewer pipe and inlet construction.
This project affects many preexisting underground utilities which had to be worked around, protected, and/or relocated.
All underground utility installation and relocation was recently completed in mid-September. Currently, subgrade stabilization is being completed, which includes over-excavating,
scarifying, moisture conditioning, and compacting the earthen subgrade.
That work will be followed by installation of a crushed concrete base material during the next few weeks. After the subgrade is stabilized and base material is in-place, concrete paving operations will commence in early October.
Citizens are urged to use extreme caution when traveling around the work zone. Thank you for your patience on this much needed street improvement.
