On Monday, August 6th City Council approved entering into a contract with Manatts, Inc. of Brooklyn, Iowa for the Iowa Speedway Drive Overlay Project. This project includes the installation of subdrain tile along both sides of the existing paved roadway, widening the road from 24 feet to 28 feet, and paving a 7 inch thick PC concrete overlay over the original road surface. Construction is expected to begin in late August, with final completion of the work anticipated in 30 working days. The project will be constructed in two phases, with a signed detour route in place for both phases.
