Since the first week in June, you might have seen road-closed signs along 6th street between Fremont and Jefferson Street. Although much of the project was finished for Shanty Days on August 13th-15, they continued to work on the road after the crowds from Shanty Days disappeared. Matt Murphy, director of public works for Algoma, explains on Monday’s walkthrough, they were able to announce the project’s substantial completion.

When walking or driving along the street, you will probably notice cover along much of the grass areas. That cover is in place to protect the seeding that they finished late last week. With the completion of this project, there isn’t any other construction to start within the city limits for the foreseeable future.
