(Urbana, OH) – On Monday, May 6, 2019, the City of Urbana’s contractor, R.B. Jergens Contractors, Inc., will start work on the planned improvements to the Monument Square Roundabout at the intersection of US Route 36 and US Route 68. This project includes safety improvements to the existing roundabout, additional lighting, and water main replacement work. In addition, this project also encompasses final resurfacing and restriping at the end of the project.
Project work will commence with the construction of the new truck apron around the base of the existing monument. Phase 1 of this work is anticipated to last approximately two weeks, and traffic will be maintained. However, delays are possible during the first phase. Phases 2-5 will involve the closure of one leg of the square at a time. For example, the northern leg (North Main Street) between Monument Square and East Court Street is planned to be closed first around May 20, 2019. Local detours and truck detours will be signed accordingly for each phase. Phase 6 will involve the milling and repaving of the finished improvements, and this work is anticipated to occur during the overnight hours later this fall.
Final project completion date is anticipated by October 31, 2019. Throughout the project, project updates will be posted to the city’s website: urbanaohio.com and on the city’s Facebook page. Businesses will be able to remain open as normal during the construction. Parking will be affected during the different phases of the project, but pedestrian access to businesses will be maintained.
Hi, thanks for posting here about this! Will the road layout change at all in this? Could you provide other start and end dates of the closures here? We can schedule them in the map editor
I scheduled the closures based on the information on the urbanaohio.com website you provided. If you notice that the schedule changes, please post here to alert someone to look at it. With so many projects across the state, we’re likely to forget to keep checking on it. :oops:
