(Le Mars) — We continue our series of reports visiting with Le Mars City
Administrator, Scott Langel discussing the various construction projects. Those
projects currently in progress, as well as future construction projects. Langel
says the city has many on-going construction projects, including one involving 12th
Street southeast.
Langle says the project will be done in three different phases.
Speaking of Vander Pol Construction Company, they are the construction firm that is
installing the new water main along Business Highway 75. Langel says that project
has been slower than expected.
The city administrator says Vander Pol ran into a problem with a gas line, and he
is hopeful the problem can be resolved allowing Vander Pol to proceed with the
project. Residents of Le Mars may have noticed barricades on 1st Avenue West and
2nd Avenue west. Langel says the contractor, Knife River, has been busy applying
new asphalt.
Langel says when the parking lot is completed, Knife River will then apply asphalt
on 2nd Avenue west.
Next week, Langel will talk about some future construction projects.
