The city of St. Charles electric utility has hired Archon Construction to repair settling manhole covers on Kirk Road.

The work will require a continuous closing of the southbound outside lane of Kirk Road from Main Street south to Tyler Road, from now through July 31, weather permitting.

Work consists of breaking out the surrounding pavement and re-pouring concrete. The result will be a smoother ride for drivers, as well as safer snow plowing operations in the winter.

For more information, contact Electric Services Manager Tom Bruhl at 630-377-4407.
