Construction crews will begin work on the Georgia Street Channel / Culvert Project today in Pittsburg.

The project is located along Georgia Street and work will include removal of the existing culvert, storm sewer, storm sewer structures, new roadway base and pavement, and sidewalk. Full closure of the street will occur during the construction of the project.

Heck & Wicker, Inc., of Parsons, Kansas, will begin construction at the south end of the project to avoid disruption of the 4^th of July events scheduled in Lincoln Park for July 3^rd and July 4^th. The contractor will have 120 calendar days to complete this project; therefore, closure is expected over the next couple of months.

Advanced notification signs will be in place during construction. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes when possible.
