It’s been a busy week in the Town of Grant. The stunning weather (although too dry) has been a big help for our road construction projects. For the bridge projects on 95th and 100th Streets over Four Mile Creek the abutment pours, structural backfill, riprap and travel corridor rock have all been completed and this week the falsework and decking was on tap (pictures). Next week both the bridges will be poured! At Wednesday’s town board meeting the board approved pavement extensions on both roads as follows: 95th Street (Lake to bridge and bridge to Four Mile Lane); and 100th Street (Lake to bridge). Otherwise, the new pavement would only have extended approximately 50’ on either side of the bridges per the design and county’s designation. These pavement extensions will be very nice additions to the projects.

This week the finish grading was done on Pine Street and paving is slated for early next week. Our Public Works crew was out cutting a few overhanging trees and mowing.
If you were outside during the last few evenings, you may have seen the Northern Lights. What a spectacle (picture)!
Enjoy the weekend. Rumor has it it’s going to get cold (some have even heard the “S” word – snow???)
Take care, Sharon
