September 11, 2020: Construction Update No. 14 Bridge Avenue Reconstruction Project

The Bridge Avenue Reconstruction Project began on June 15, 2020. Bridge Avenue will be closed from Marshall St. to southerly Fairground entrance, just north of Minnie Maddern St. Ulland Brothers, Inc. will be the prime contractor on this project. Freeborn County and the City of Albert Lea collaborated on this project and have hired SRF Consulting Group to provide construction oversight.

Construction activity completed this week:• Began installation of Sanitary and Watermain from Sheridan to the north. • Removed old retaining walls and excavated for new block retaining walls along Bridge Avenue.

Construction activity for next week will be the following: • Prepare for concrete curb and sidewalk at the Marshall intersection.• Continue Sanitary & Watermain work north of Sheridan.

Safety is always our highest concern during construction of these types of projects:• Please slow down through construction zone for the safety of others, and the workers on site, as well

as your own safety. Avoid using a cellular phone when walking or driving near a construction zone. • Please stay clear of machinery and construction trenches in the work zone. Construction vehicles can

move quickly and suddenly. Staying alert to your surroundings reduces the likelihood of an incident.• In addition, your assistance in directing your children away from construction areas is appreciated.

Thank you for your consideration and patience. For any questions or concerns you may contact the following at SRF Consulting:
