Additional pavement removals around Mason Creek are currently underway in preparation for the installation of the new culvert. Mid-Continent Contracting will be working between South Carolina Avenue and South Hampshire Avenue removing pavement and additional preparation work for the widening. The installation of the storm sewer across South Kentucky Avenue is expected to begin in the middle of the week. This section of storm sewer will cross South Kentucky Avenue south of the intersection with 19th Street SE.
