RECONSTRUCTION OF GARRETT STREET BEGINNING MONDAY

  

Starting Monday, the City of Brenham Street Department will begin reconstructing Garrett Street.

Reconstruction of the roadway will last for approximately three weeks—weather allowing—and will be done in phases throughout the time period.

During the time of construction and during the hours of 8 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.

Reconstruction will involve tilling up the current 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.

Residents will notice dusty conditions at times, especially as cement is added to the roadway.  They are asked to park all cars in driveways or off the roadways between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and to turn off their sprinkler systems if they have any.
