- Approximately 70% of excavation has been completed (204,000 cubic yards).
- Approximately 86,000 feet of structural support piling (86% of total contract amount) has been installed.
- The stormwater pumping station is complete.
- Concrete paving of SE Main Avenue near the Moorhead Youth Hockey Arena (MYHA) is ongoing. Completion of this segment of roadway will allow the second driveway access to the MYHA parking lot to be open to traffic this hockey season.
Neighborhood note: A second period of night construction is expected to follow completion of the BNSF permanent track in mid-November 2021.
