2025 Road Construction Updates – 9-25 Linda Court & Thelen Avenue Utility Relay May 27-30

CONSTRUCTION :

• WE Energies – Miller Pipeline Has begun their gas service replacement project within the Linda Court and Thelen Avenue areas. They anticipate completing all of their required work by the end of this week (weather permitting). This work is administered through WE Energies, and not the City of Kaukauna. Please reach out to them or myself with any questions or concerns and we can address them.
• Carl Bowers Construction – We have received a schedule from Carl Bowers (The Prime Contractor for this project) that has June 9^th as their start date for the work. You can expect to see an update email at the end of next week that will outline the work anticipated to happen during the week of June 9^th. This project has a deadline of August 29^th. Expect all work to be completed by then including sewer and water replacement, asphalt paving, private lateral replacements, and grass restoration.

DRIVEWAYS/PARKING – Please do not park on the road while the contractor is performing their work in the area. They need plenty of room for their trucks and equipment to be able to easily, quickly, and safely complete their work. Park in your driveway if possible, or on the nearest side street.

• If you need special accommodations for parking, please reach out as we can arrange different parking options. This includes anyone with disabilities, recent surgeries, expecting mothers, and mothers with newborns that have appointments. Unfortunately, there is no “one size fits all” for parking and property access. The fewer cars that the contractor has to work around, the faster they can get the work done on your block and move on.

WORK ZONE SAFETY – While driving through the construction site, be sure to travel slowly and keep an eye out for equipment. This not only cuts down on dust, but also keeps the construction workers safe. Operators try their best to see traffic, but their view can be obstructed at times. It is always best to try and gain eye contact with equipment operators prior to driving by. You may need to wait at times before driving by depending on the work being performed. Please be patient during construction.

*  PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WORK AND SCHEDULE CAN CHANGE DUE TO WEATHER OR UNFORSEEN CONSTRUCTION DELAYS. THESE UPDATES ARE TO AID THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS AS WE ALL WORK TOGETHER TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT IN A TIMELY MANNER  *

Utility and Street Construction is not easy. There will be dirt, mud, dust, equipment, and workers everywhere. Construction activity will be noisy, and getting to your residence will be difficult at times. We understand that it can be frustrating while it happens, but we ask for your patience and understanding as we make the much needed improvements to your street and utilities. Please do not hesitate to contact [email protected] with any questions or concerns. We can’t help if we don’t know.
