South Owen Drive Reconstruction
March 18, 2024 Update
MG&E Gas has begun replacing their private gas main throughout the project area along S. Owen Dr. The existing gas main will be retired and approximately 2,300 feet of new 2-inch gas main will be installed via directional boring on both sides of S. Owen Dr under the sidewalk. MG&E Gas utility work is expected to be completed by approximately April 18th, 2024.
Additionally, the start date for the City’s reconstruction of S. Owen Dr has been delayed 6-8 weeks due to a sanitary sewer permitting issue. The project is now anticipated to begin approximately late May/June 2024. Additional details will be communicated to residents through the project web page and via a “Start of Construction” letter that will be mailed out to residents two weeks prior to the start of construction.
