The players
E.R. Snell
This is the contracting firm tasked with performing the construction and infrastructure upgrades on Broad Street.
The details
Crews are currently installing a bike path and pouring new sidewalk concrete as part of the renovation. Contractors have implemented a compacted stone surface to ensure customers can still reach businesses during the sidewalk removal.
Timeline
Construction on the outside lanes began on September 22, 2026.
The full Broad Street Improvements Project is expected to conclude by early 2027.
Market Landscape
This construction follows the patterns established by the Broad Street Improvements Project. The effort marks an active segment of the broader initiative to modernize the city center.
Shoppers should anticipate ongoing construction traffic and modified access points to businesses near 10th and 11th streets. Temporary stone paths will remain in place to facilitate storefront access throughout the construction duration.
The takeaway
Business owners and customers should maintain communication with city representatives to navigate the temporary access changes. Preparing for periodic shifts in sidewalk access will help minimize inconvenience during the remaining months of construction.
