Flurry of roadwork continues in Dixon

DIXON — Work is ongoing throughout the city on road and water projects.

The city is resurfacing 5.2 miles of streets across 92 blocks this construction season, with work costing about $3.1 million.

Water main replacement projects continue on South Galena Avenue and Division Street. The Division Street project is expected to wrap up in the next 2 weeks, and Galena Avenue construction should be done by mid-October.

Resurfacing on state Route 2, also known as Palmyra and Everett streets, is scheduled to be completed by the end of October.

Resurfacing for the annual street program is scheduled to be completed by late October.
