First Street construction

The northern section of First Street is completely closed to traffic while crews completely rebuild this main traffic artery in Grants. New infrastructure, such as water, sewer and drainage pipes are being installed before the curb and gutter, sidewalks and paving will be done. According to Grants Special Projects Manager Donald Jaramillo, the work on First Street is on schedule and the early indications are that the project could come in under budget which would allow for the addition of lighting during this construction phase. However, Jaramillo said its still to early to know if the project will endure unknown issues. The project is slated to be completed by the end of 2021. Scott Ford - CC
