CITY OF BRENHAM RECONSTRUCTING PORTION OF AIRLINE DRIVE

  

The City of Brenham Street Department has begun reconstructing Airline Drive, from Hillcrest Street to Progress Drive.

Reconstruction began Monday, and will last for approximately two weeks.  Work on the roadway will be done in phases throughout this time period.

The reconstruction process will involve tilling up the existing roadway, grading the sub-base, and adding bulk cement to stabilize the sub-base.  After cement is applied, a two-inch asphalt layer will be added to the new roadbed, which should improve the street surface for several years.

There will be times, especially as cement is added to the roadway, that residents will notice dusty conditions.  They are asked to be patient with work crews and work zones.

During the time of construction, and during the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., this section of roadway will be limited to vehicular traffic throughout the work zones.  City staff will work with residents to get access to homes throughout this process.

Residents are asked to park all cars in driveways or off the roadways between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.  If they have a sprinkler system that either oversprays or has runoff into the street, they are asked to turn it off on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday nights.
