The South Industrial Construction Project website has been updated with follow-up materials from the March 2021 Virtual Open House and Online Survey.
https://www.a2gov.org/departments/engineering/Pages/South-Industrial-Highway-Project.aspx
Updated materials include:
- Open House meeting summary
- Updated design concept for construction
- Frequently asked questions
The construction project is expected to begin, with traffic controls, on May 10, 2021.
I posted previously about the public meeting and survey here:

From the project website:
Why is this project being done?
The existing concrete pavement is failing and in need of repair. The infrastructure repair project provides an opportunity to incorporate non-motorized transportation features along the corridor.
By reducing the number of lanes south of Stimson from 4 lanes to 3 lanes, continuous bicycle lanes can be provided along both sides of the entire South Industrial Highway corridor.

How might the project affect you?
- Driveway access to all businesses will be maintained within the project limits for the duration of the planned work
- Given that the proposed work will be extensive and time-consuming, the work will unavoidably disrupt normal traffic and business operations along South Industrial
- Vehicular traffic and bus routes in the vicinity of the project will be impacted as a result of the planned work
- Dust, noise, and inconvenience will be prevalent due to the nature of the planned construction
