Local access will be provided from CR 5; however, there will be no access from Hwy 66 during these closures. Detour routes include County Line Rd., CR 34, CR 32, and CR 7.

May 13, 2024--The Town of Mead will start its concrete repair and replacement program in various areas the week of May 20, with the saw-cutting of repair areas, followed by removal and replacement. This work should be completed by June 28. This completion date will depend on weather, equipment, and material availability. Work areas will include Feather Ridge, Margil Farms subdivision, 5^th St sidewalk install, and the Hunters Ridge entrance. During construction times, alternate routes are advised. Additional work will be completed after the concrete repairs, including asphalt patching and reconstruction, Crack Seal, and Slurry Seal, and the striping will be installed. This project is funded by our sales tax revenue increase approved by voters in November 2021.

3rd & Welker Intersection Project

The 3rd Street and Welker Avenue intersection project is progressing through property acquisition. Intersection improvements include left and right turn lanes on all legs, medians, sidewalk connections on all legs, drainage upgrades, two railroad crossings, and a traffic signal. Reconstruction of the intersection will begin in 2024, and significant traffic impacts are expected during the construction period. The intersection contains two primary arterial roads in the heart of downtown and is a crucial component of safe routes to school.
