• Ninth Street from Tennessee Street to Kentucky Street will be under construction for removal of the old roadway and repaving, new pavement markings, curb and gutter replacement, new sidewalks, the addition of some off-street parking and new traffic signals at Ninth and Tennessee Streets. Construction is expected to start Monday and will be completed by the end of August to early September. There will be lanes closures, and speed limits will be reduced to 20 mph through the construction zone. Through traffic will be maintained at all times but motorists can expect delays.

• Bob Billings Parkway eastbound lanes, from Kasold to Crestline drives, will be reconstructed with a new water line installed along the roadway between Kasold Drive and Iowa Street. The eastbound lanes are shut down to traffic and all traffic is shifted to the westbound lanes, with one lane of traffic in each direction. Speed limits will be reduced to 20 miles per hour. Motorists are advised to expect major delays and avoid the area if possible.

• Iowa Street, from 29th Street to the south city limits, will be under construction for removal of the old roadway and repaving. In addition, areas of curb and gutter will be replaced, sidewalk will be constructed where current gaps exist and a concrete median will be constructed on the west side of the 33rd Street and Iowa intersection. There will be lane closures for the repaving but through traffic will be maintained at all times. Speed limits will be reduced through the construction zone and drivers can expect delays. Construction is scheduled to be completed by Aug 31.
