Street improvements work to begin Sept. 29

Asphalt mill and overlay work will begin in the areas of south Rouse, east Centennial, and east Ford streets in Pittsburg. This is part of the 2025 Street Improvement Project and will start on Monday, Sept. 29 by Emery Sapp and Sons.

In conjunction with this project, pavement markings are being replaced at arterial intersections throughout the City of Pittsburg.

Motorists should expect possible changes to traffic patterns and traffic delays during construction. Even though traffic control will be in place, to allow traffic to use all the streets in the area of construction, traffic could be slowed due to lane closures. Side streets could also be temporarily closed as the pavement operation moves through the intersections.

Parking along sections of the streets will be temporarily restricted as work progresses. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes, when possible, to use extreme caution when traveling in the area of construction, and be aware of workers in the work zone.

The City of Pittsburg appreciates the patience of motorists and residents while this work is being performed. Contact the City of Pittsburg Public Works & Utilities Department at 620-240-5126 with questions regarding this project.
