Crews from Advanced Asphalt paved the final coat of asphalt on Plank Road on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025 in Peru. The first of three phases of Plank Road construction has been completed. The temporary stoplights have been removed from the construction zone. The project involved a new turn lane, wider lanes in both directions, curb and gutter, and addition of a recreation trail. Future plans are to reconstruct the road all the way to Interstate 80. (Scott Anderson)
