Overview
Project Description:
Various road surfaces throughout the city will be refinished. This project includes work on select sidewalk ramps and sidewalks.
BMU is also replacing sanitary sewer and water distribution utilities on portions of the project including 7th Avenue and 3rd Avenue.
Why the Project:
This resurfacing project ensures roads around the community are regularly maintained. The City surveys the condition of every street in the community to determine which streets need to be resurfaced each year.
The City of Brookings coordinates with BMU their planned street improvement projects. If utility replacements are needed under planned street improvements, the City and BMU work together to combine their projects into one to minimize disruptions to homeowners and the traveling public.
Estimated Completion:
Completion varies by the roadway. All segments are planned for completion by November 2025.
