The 800 block of East 1st Street and the east-west Oost Poort Alley in Pella is closed to through traffic beginning today as work begins on the sanitary sewer portion of the project. This stage is expected to take approximately 4-6 weeks, weather dependent. This joins the ongoing infrastructure work on Neil Drive and 218th Avenue, with a closure still in place for that project and detoured traffic directed from Elevator Road south of Pella. Contact the Pella Public Works Department at 628-1601 for more information.
