Project Overview
In August 2022, Adams County began the East 58th Avenue from Washington to York Improvement project. The project entails widening and making infrastructure, accessibility, and drainage improvements along East 58th Avenue from Washington to York. Other work includes intersection upgrades at Franklin and relocating utilities and water facilities. The work will be phased, but phasing will overlap.Project Update
During the week of April 14 to April 20, crews began lowering the North Washington Street Water & Sanitation District water line at the E. 58th Ave and Franklin intersection, with a minor traffic shift in place. Other work included installing a manhole for the North Washington sanitary sewer line, pouring soil nail wall footings, and forming, tying rebar, and pouring walls east of Franklin.
