Geneva Construction, a City contractor, will be working on the 2025 Street Program, which will include resurfacing 19 residential roadways in the community. Other program projects will include Third Street pavement patching, Hamilton Street parking lot reconstruction, James Street parking reconfiguration, pavement markings and drainage repairs. A map and project locations can be found online.
May 12 Update
The Downtown Third Street pavement patching projects have been postponed until at least Thursday, May 15 due to utility locations needing to be performed in the area. Third Street will remain open to traffic and parking until construction is ready to get underway.
When operations do begin, Third Street will be closed from the south of James to the south side of Campbell streets for concrete pavement patching projects.
The road closure was originally expected to stay in place through Friday, May 23 but that may be extended given the delayed start. The first half of the project will generate noise and dust as crews saw cut through the roadway. Once the new concrete is poured, the surface will need time to cure.
The entire intersection of Third and Campbell streets will be shut down to motorists in all directions. James Street will remain open, but drivers will not be permitted to turn south on Third Street.
Parking on both sides of the roadway along this one-block stretch will not be available during construction. Sidewalks will be open to downtown patrons.
Several parking spaces on the west side of Third Street near the Geneva Chamber of Commerce, Niche Restaurant and the U.S. Post Office will be temporarily closed for pavement patching. Third Street traffic lanes in both directions will be open from State (Route 38) to James streets.
The remainder of Downtown Third Street will be open for cars and parking.
The entire schedule is weather permitting and subject to change.
