ST. PETER — The Highway 169 project in St. Peter is still on schedule to reopen sometime between November 14 and Thanksgiving.
An exact date for reopening has not yet been determined and will depend on the weather.
The following information is an update on what’s currently going on with the project:
• Some work scheduled for spring – The original schedule for the Highway 169 project included some work to be done in spring 2010 – this includes landscaping, completion of sidewalks north of Chatham and south of Walnut, and various punch list items.
All work that can be completed this fall and is not sensitive to cold temperatures will be done.
Any remaining work will be completed in the spring.
• Discover Saint Peter Holiday Celebration – The City of Saint Peter, the Saint Peter Chamber of Commerce and downtown businesses will be holding an all-day event on Saturday, November 14, to welcome people back to downtown Saint Peter.
A ceremony recognizing the completion of the Hwy 169 Saint Peter project will be a part of this all-day event and is scheduled for 11 a.m.
