Drainage work has been installed in the six major intersections included in the project, and crews have now shifted focus to the south end. Work is currently underway to prepare the roadbed between Elm and Market streets. Curb installation and asphalt paving will follow. Sidewalk construction is also in progress.
As harvest season approaches, drivers in rural areas are facing a safety issue. Tall corn fields are presenting a sight obstruction for motorists at intersections. The height and thickness of the corn make visibility a challenge for drivers to safely maneuver through intersections and see oncoming traffic. The Allen County Engineer's Office has been contacted by residents about solutions to this problem and how they can work with farmers to help increase visibility for drivers until the corn is harvested in the fall.
