(Le Mars) — The intersection of Highway 3 or Plymouth Street and Central Avenue is now closed to traffic from all four directions. Construction crews have already begun to work on the well-traveled intersection, making improvements. City Public Works and Street Department superintendent, Scott Kneip explains the repairs being made.
Kneip says the intersection will also be made to be more accessible for the handicapped, and a new fire hydrant will be installed.
The Street Department superintendent says crews will no longer be using the bricks, however the diamond pattern will remain.
Kneip says the downtown intersection may remain closed for a duration of up to three weeks.
While construction continues, Kneip says traffic has been detoured.
The downtown intersection could remain closed until early November
