The 24th and Prairie waterline replacement process has a lot of travel adjustments coming soon.

Starting Monday, City Communications Manager Christine Torrens says drivers can expect the following adjustments:

*The 15th and Prairie intersection will be closed for up to three weeks*15th will be closed to thru traffic between Thompson and Woodland. Traffic will be detoured south on both Thompson and Woodland through that closure*Prairie Street will be closed to thru traffic south of Hillcrest Road and 24th Avenue. There will be a detour east on 24th. Prairie will also be closed to thru traffic at 18th, with a detour to the west on 18th. Further south, Prairie will be closed to thru traffic north of 12th and there will be detours either west or east on 12th.

This is part of a process bringing nearly 13,000 linear feet — or over two miles — of new water mains ranging from six to 24 inches in diameter, along with over 30 new service lines and other connections nearby. Work is tentatively set to continue through at least summer 2025.
