County Road A-34, Or 13th Street In Milford, To Be Closed From Hwy 71 To West City Limits Starting April 15th

(Milford)– Work on a heavily traveled road in Milford is about to get underway. A public informational meeting was held Tuesday evening on the reconstruction of County Road A-34, or 13th Street, between the west city limits and Highway 71. Jason Eygabroad of Beck Engineering is helping to oversee the project…

“Generally speaking the road closure is scheduled for April 15th, and the duration of the project will last through the fall into October and the main closure will be that full duration.”

Eygabroad says a detour will be in place for through traffic, with local traffic still being maintained when and where possible. He says the work will be extensive…

“It will be a total road re-construction essentially from 213th Avenue East to Highway 71 with new underground utilities that includes storm water, sanitary sewer, new water mains and then a new concrete road pavement with some sidewalks and recreational trail.”

The 10-foot wide recreational trail will run along the north side of the road. In addition, Eygabroad says some work will be taking place on an adjacent street as well…

“So roughly the south 600 feet of Airport Drive is scheduled to have the same scope of work done to it.”

Eygabroad says special arrangements are being made for temporary water services during the project, along with garbage and recycling pickup, emergency service providers, mail delivery, and school bus routes.

Beck Excavating of Spirit Lake is the general contractor on the project with GM Contracting of Lake Crystal, Minnesota doing most of the underground work.
