The Algoma Public Works Department started a three-month project on Sixth Street last week. Public Works Director Matt Murphy says the job calls for replacing all water, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer mains covering a four-block area. The construction will be from Fremont Street to Jefferson Street. He shares what the complete rebuild will entail.

Murphy notes that local traffic will be allowed to get in and out of their driveways. The city will notify homeowners in advance of the sidewalk construction to park their vehicles on the street. The Sixth Street project is projected to be completed by the end of August or early September.
