The City of Blaine is bustling with several road construction projects as we advance through the construction season, and the recent construction update offers a glimpse into what residents can expect in the coming weeks. Noteworthy among these is project 23-30 focusing on Lift Station 13 Force Main which undergoes three vital phases with Phase 1 and 2 set for 2025 and Phase 3 stretching between 2025 and 2026 for the Lift Station 13 replacement.
Phase 1 completion aligns with Phase 2 works, which will see significant activity during the week of August 18, including the installation of concrete curb and gutter alongside street grading. Meanwhile, as residents navigate the changing landscape, a detour map for this phase remains accessible on the project's webpage. In the neighboring areas, construction continues with the 2024 Southwest Area Street Reconstruction tagged as project 24-07, and the update indicates a strategic four-phase approach, with Phase 1 concluded last year and Phases 2A, 2B, and 3 all aiming for a 2025 completion.
