SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Anyone who has traveled Pennsylvania Avenue in Sheboygan near the Courthouse has had to deal with road work since mid-July. The replacement of a water main has made the road rather bumpy with gravel covering where the new main was placed.
The good news is the City of Sheboygan has hired a firm to work on reconstructing the street from Seventh Street east to 150 feet east of Fifth Street. It will be a lengthy process that will be split up into two parts due to the winter season.
The first part, which begins on Tuesday, will replace the sanitary sewer and storm sewer mainlines, as well as the street’s concrete. This will result in Pennsylvania to close between Fifth and Seventh streets, as well as crossing the street at Sixth and Fifth streets. The road is scheduled to reopen again sometime in November.
The second part of the project will be the replacement of sidewalk, street lighting, and trees. That will happen next spring and be completed by June.
Anyone with questions can contact the city’s Engineering Department at 459-3394.
