Work on the Indianola downtown square reconstruction project continued over the past week. The installation of water main and yard hydrants on Ashland and Howard is complete, along with pavement markings, street signage and light poles on Howard.

Subgrade prep on Ashland between 1st St and Howard began, along with the installation of subdrain and rock chambers. During the walkthrough of the Howard and Salem intersection, a crack in the concrete was noted and will need to be repaired, which will delay the opening of
Howard until next week.

Ashland from Howard to B St will be shut down beginning Monday, however the north to south intersection access on B St will remain open for several weeks until water main installation connections begin.

Beginning later in July, Ashland between 1st and Howard as well as the intersection of Ashland and Howard will be paved, and the removal of installation of sidewalks on Ashland will begin.
