Arlington: Tveit Road repair continues
Tveit Road, which was damaged in last winter’s floods, still is being repaired. Excavation and soil reinforcing operations might be finished this week if the weather cooperates, city staff said. Paving and guardrail installation could begin Monday, and, weather permitting, should be done by mid-November, Arlington public works director James Kelly said.
