The Public Works Directors office announced today that starting on Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 7:00 a.m., construction will begin on Agency Street between Highway 61 and West Burlington Avenue. For the first phase of construction, traffic will be diverted into the southernmost lanes. Transition from four lanes of traffic to two will begin on the east side of Highway 61 and the west side of West Burlington Avenue. Two intersections will be effected by the project, the intersection of West Burlington Avenue, and the intersection of the Plaza West Frontage Road. Both intersections will revert to a 4 way stop and will be slightly modified to promote traffic flow. This is the first of four stages of traffic control that will be required to complete construction. The first phase is expected to take 2 months to complete, at which point another news release will be published describing traffic control for phase 2 of the project. Pictures of the traffic control for this phase can be seen on our website http://www.burlingtoniowa.org/2529/Agency-Street-Widening-Project---West-En
