Beginning June 15, the reconstruction of 4th St. between Cedar Ave and Highland Road will begin. As part of this project, a new bridge will be built over Brezee Creek. The expected completion date for the 4th St Widening Project and Culvert Replacement is December 2027.

Access to East Stonecreek Drive from East 4th St will be closed for the duration of the project. Signage will be installed to implement a detour to E. Stonecreek Dr. using 5th St. Residents of E. Stonecreek Dr. will have local access using the detour.

During the project, a new two-lane bypass will be constructed on 4th St. to shift traffic to allow for the construction of a new bridge over Brezee Creek. The reduced speed limit will be 20 MPH in the work zone. The bypass lane will allow for eastbound and westbound traffic while the bridge is constructed. Temporary daytime lane closures of 4th St. will occur periodically for the entirety of the project. Flaggers will be present directing single-lane traffic. Traffic will re-open to two lanes outside of the workday.

Pedestrian access will be allowed along 4th St. with crossings to E. Stonecreek Dr. using flashing beacons and flaggers.

The 4th St Widening and Brezee Creek Culvert replacement was funded by federal, state and TIB grants. Following the completion of the project, the creek will allow for safe passage of fish and other wildlife. There will also be a continuous sidewalk on the northside of 4th St. and a 10-ft shared use path on the southside. The shared use path is for both bike and pedestrian use.
