E Wilson Street and E Doty Street Reconstruction

Due to extensive private utility work by MG&E, this project will not be complete in 2024 and will continue into Spring 2025. It is anticipated that the City’s Contractor, RG Huston, will fully complete E Doty St (Martin Luther King Blvd to King St) prior to winter. In addition, the Contractor is expected to complete the majority of work at the E Wilson St – King St – S Butler St intersection in order to restore permanent traffic signals at this intersection prior to winter. Lastly, the Contractor is expected to complete the north-side of E Wilson St from S Hancock St to S Franklin St and the entire block of E Wilson St from Martin Luther King Blvd to S Pinckney St. All remaining work on E Wilson St will resume once weather allows in Spring 2025.

MG&E’s Contractor, Intercon, will be continuing their electrical duct package installation on E Wilson St through the winter with anticipated completion by Spring 2025. 

Construction on this project is scheduled to start on Tuesday, May 28. The general contractor performing the city improvements will be R.G. Huston. In addition to the city street reconstruction project, MG&E will have a contractor on-site replacing underground electric facilities along E Doty Street. There is a possibility that MG&E will start construction activities prior to the May 28 start date for the city project but at this time there is not an official start date selected. This week, City Engineering will mail a notice letter to residents and property owners along the project limits notifying the construction start date and additional details regarding the proposed street improvements, restrictions during construction, and traffic control.
