BROOKINGS – The city has started construction work on the Sixth Avenue South Viaduct Drainage Improvement Project. 

The project area is Sixth Avenue South between First Street South and Second Street, shown above. The project was designed by Banner Associates and the work will include new storm sewer pipe and inlets, concrete pavement and a lighted flood warning system. 

The contractor for the project is V.J. Ahlers Excavating, and construction is estimated to take approximately one month, which will depend on weather or other issues causing delays. 

The project area will be closed to traffic during the construction project, and detour traffic shall use alternate routes.

“We would like to remind the public to be cautious when driving or walking near the project area, especially around work areas under construction,” says a press release from the City Engineering Department. “The city would like to thank the public for their patience during the project.”

Questions may be directed to the City Engineering Department at 692-6629 or to Waylon Blasius at Banner Associates at 692-6342.
