Almost 7/10 mile of Alfred Wright Boulevard will be completely reconstructed once school is out for the summer. This complete reconstruction includes: concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk ramps, water main, hot mix asphalt paving, and pavement markings on AWB from Lime Street to McLeod Avenue in the City of Ironwood.

Ross Peterson was named as General Contractor for the project. Ruotsala Concret Constrcution will be assisting Peterson with the sidewalks, gutters, etc.
