Street Construction

BOONE, Iowa---Will work be completed and streets reopened for travel before Thanksgiving. That's the hope of the Boone City Council. Doug Ernst with Foth Engineering says the intent is to get streets back open this week if possible. Ernst told the Council Monday that he will be meeting with the contractor to push for openings as soon as possible, may even yet this week. He did note that lines need to be repainted and traffic signals need to be made operational. One of the problems at 8th and Benton has to do with damage done to one of the traffic signal poles.
