Work in the mill & overlay area will involve milling the existing bituminous street surfacing for a 6-foot width along each concrete gutter line so the new bituminous layer will match with the level of the concrete gutter. A 2-inch thick layer of bituminous will be laid over the entire width of the street. The project would also involve replacing sections of curb & gutter that have settled and are causing drainage issues. Sidewalk will be replaced where it is damaged or settled causing a tripping hazard, and to bring the pedestrian ramps into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

St. Mary Avenue & 14th Street Reconstruction Project – Job 2603
The project involves the complete reconstruction of portions of St Mary Avenue and 14th Street (approximately 1,2320 total feet). Proposed work will include complete removal and replacement of the pavement, curb & gutter, sidewalk, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and watermain. The existing concrete and bituminous pavements will be removed and replaced with a bituminous surface. The streets are:
St. Mary Avenue – William Street to Clark Street
14th Street – Myers Road to the east end
St. Mary Avenue is 37 feet wide with sidewalk on the west side. This street is wider to allow for parking on both sides of the street to serve First Lutheran Church, the Freeborn County Department of Human Services building, and other surrounding businesses. The project would also include replacing both the steps and a portion of the concrete revetment that protects the steep slope from the street to the municipal parking lot adjacent to the project. The watermain, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer are proposed to be replaced, and the street reconstructed with the same width and sidewalk configuration as the existing street.
14th Street is 42 feet wide from back-to-back of curb and is proposed to be reconstructed to the same configuration. No sidewalk is proposed to be installed along 14th Street. This section of 14th Street has experienced a large number of watermain breaks in recent years, so the watermain is proposed to be replaced. The sanitary sewer and mainline storm sewer are in good condition and are not proposed for replacement. The curb & gutter along the north side of the road will be replaced as it is almost directly over the watermain. The existing curb on the south side is also in good condition and will be left in place.
