The city’s Transportation Division began replacement of a bridge culvert on Persimmon Street today (Aug. 15).
The existing bridge culvert failed earlier this summer due to damaged received during the spring flooding.
Construction of the culvert will require closing of Persimmon Street between 54th Avenue and Broyles Avenue to through traffic for approximately two weeks. The entire project is estimated to last six weeks.
Additional work will include construction of wing walls as well as shoulder and street repairs to the damaged area.
Detour routes will be posted to reroute traffic.
From a recent news release:
On behalf of the City of Fayetteville, we would like to express our appreciation for your cooperation and understanding as we perform our work in this area.
