Memorial Neighborhood construction work underway, 21 homes planned
Work is expected to be completed by the end of September
SHEBOYGAN — As part of the planned Northern Lights Subdivision, construction work is now underway on improvements in the Memorial Neighborhood.
According to the City of Sheboygan, improvements are required on North 6th Street and North 7th Street near the former Aurora Memorial Hospital. These improvements include sanitary sewer repairs and replacements, storm sewer modifications, concrete repairs, new crosswalks, and new asphalt pavement. Wisconsin Public Service is currently upgrading its natural gas pipes.
Additionally, the Sheboygan Water Utility will upgrade a section of the water main on North 7th Street and replace lead water pipes. Waukesha-based LaLonde Contractors was awarded the contract with a low bid of $1,048,748. According to city officials, the work will be substantially completed on or before September 26th. The city recognizes that time is of the essence and if milestones are not achieved within the stated contract terms, LaLonde Contractors could be financially penalized.
