Fourth Street South in Cedar-Riverside closed for two weeks
Construction on Fourth Street South from 21st Avenue South to West River Road, near the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview began on June 26. No specific detour for the closed street has been established for the mill and overlay project. The road will be closed for two weeks.
The mill and overlay project, consists of a deep milling to both outer sides of the street. Milling aligns the existing concrete gutter flow lines with the pavement surface after the overlay. A tack coat on the old pavement surface helps create a bonding agent with the overlay. Asphalt is then laid over the entire pavement to a form a smooth crown. The overlay helps restores structural capacity, skid resistance, proper drainage, and ride quality to the pavement.
