Havana, Glenrose project begins with work at Freya
A project to upgrade Havana Street from 37th Avenue to Glenrose Road and Glenrose Road from Havana to 57th Avenue gets underway today with preparations for handling traffic along Freya Street.
Workers this week will be at Freya and 44th Avenue where a new trail is being built. The trail will run on the 44th Avenue right of way from Freya to Havana Street.
The street work involves replacing the pavement on Havana Street and Glenrose Road from 37th to 57th avenues. Sidewalks will be added where they are needed.
Bicycle lanes are being created. In this job, the city is going to use a porous type of asphalt for the bike trails that will allow rain and snowmelt to soak into the ground. That will reduce stormwater disposal along the route.
In addition, the city is going to install a new 36-inch water main from 37th to the Browne Park reservoirs at 57th Avenue and Glenrose Road.
The project is estimated to cost $3.7 million. Completion is expected this fall.
Flaggers will be posted on Freya and Havana to help control traffic.

The bridge on Hatch Road at Latah Creek will be closed Tuesday through Thursday for repairs.
Repaving work is getting started today on Perry Street from Illinois to Mission avenues. Street closures are expected through Thursday.

Around the region
Three state highway projects in Whitman County will cause lane restrictions.
