Brick Street Project Updates

  • Adel Brick Street Project – Start Up!

    Now that the sun is shining, we are expecting our brick sub-contractor to be on site this week to begin the process of completing the installation of brick for the project. The contractor will start with the sidewalk and let down areas and proceed as weather permits.

    No time table on the street portions yet, but they will not be far behind.

    City staff will also be meeting with the contractor and engineer on the project in a couple of weeks to discuss the rest of the final details; signs, street painting, benches, and final clean up are on the list.

    If you have any questions about this work process or any other aspect of this Spring’s finish work, please let me know.

  • Crews worked through Wednesday on the Main and 9th St. intersection. The intersection is close to being accessible, we will have updates for you once Main is opened.

  • Crews have laid the brick on 9th up to the Main street intersection. They’re working on the Main street intersection and the surrounding bump outs today. They’re also preparing the sidewalk corners for cement.

  • Good Morning,

    On this bright sunny day, I am happy to report that the intersection of Court Street and 9th Street has opened for traffic as has the first half block of 9th Street south to the Adel Health Mart. There are still a few details to clean up and a little sidewalk left to pour – but the streets are open in this area.

    Schedule for today and into next week include continued general clean up of the entire site and installation of storm sewer intakes.

    Brick work is continuing south and will be to the intersection of Main Street today. Saturday and Monday work will commence on laying brick in the intersection and transition areas along Main Street. At this time it is likely Main Street will be open in time for Thanksgiving.

    Work continues on lighting and wiring – I do not have a date for completion of that work yet.

    Be sure to stop in the Health Mart today as not only do they have street access again, they are celebrating their annual open house from 8:00 am – 6:00 pm.

    (Please note in this area, traffic will be allowed to move south on 9th Street and should exit the area via the alley. This will provide a “circular” driving pattern in the area and aid in traffic control.)

    Have a great week.

  • Crews are working to finish the bricks on 9th today. The goal is to complete the section from the Court St, intersection to the alley. Thursday is the projected date to open the Court and 9th street intersection with traffic being able to proceed down 9th to the alley . Parking on the West side of the street should also be open.
