City of Decorah approves a 2014 street improvement project list

Eight streets in the City of Decorah will get a new look this summer.

City council members have approved a 2014 Street Improvement Project list that includes Riverview Drive, North Street, Julian Street, Sumner Street, Monroe Street, Grant Street, Fifth Street and West Street.

The streets will have asphalt milled.  A new asphalt overlay then will be placed over the entire street.

Milling will take place ahead of the asphalt work and will typically take half a day to complete.Asphalt work will follow, in some cases not immediately, but streets will be useable in the interim period.  Asphalt work also will take approximately half a day.

The Julian Street intersection with Heivly Street will be reconstructed as well.  This will result in some traffic detours.
