Construction season continues on a variety of roads in and around Mill Creek.
In Mill Creek
In the city of Mill Creek, the contractor on the Main Street south connector project last week poured concrete curbs around the new driveway entrances for developments in the work area, and installed storm drainage facilities.
Work continued on those two aspects of the projects this past week, and construction should begin on the roadway retaining walls immediately south of Town Center.
Repaving work on city streets has been completed, said city engineer Scott Smith. As of press time, crews were doing clean-up work and roadway striping as weather permitted. With rain earlier this week, crews could still be on local roads striping into next week.
In the county
Outside of the Mill Creek city limits, a variety of roads are subject to closures.
