August 2015 3 The construction season contin- ues into the fall this year with projects that will impact travel. We thank everyone for your patience and under- standing during construction and remind everyone to exercise caution when driv- ing, biking, or walking through a construction zone. Via Appia Paving - Paving on Via Appia began in August and will continue through September, weather permitting. Lafayette-Louisville Boundary Area Improvements - This project includes the installation of storm water infra- structure in areas of downtown and east of Highway 42 that will remove a portion of downtown from the floodplain. Con- struction will affect traffic and residents on Spruce Street from Highway 42 to the BNSF railroad tracks first followed by construction on Front Street between Pine Street and South Street. Construction is anticipated to start at Highway 42 in October and finish on Front Street in May 2016. County Road Bridge Replacement - Construction plans for the new County Road Bridge are almost complete and construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in Spring/ Summer of 2016. We thank everyone for your patience as we worked through the Federal and State processes to get the bridge rebuilt at little cost to the City.
