Douglas Road Construction POP Update

🚧Pardon Our Progress (POP) Update 🚧

🚧 PARDON OUR PROGRESS – November 3, 2026 🚧

Here’s this week’s construction update from the City of Douglas! As we head into the winter months, crews are working to wrap up seasonal construction, make project areas safe, and prepare for work to resume next spring where needed.

🔹 Richards Street Sidewalk Project

Crews are clearing standing water from Monday’s storm and continuing roadway preparation, curb, gutter, sidewalk, and approach installation. The new drainage system performed very well during the storm! Concrete has been placed for the new ADA-compliant crosswalk controls, which are scheduled for installation November 9. Traffic control will continue to adjust as work progresses.

🔹 WTP Transmission Line Project

The new waterline has successfully passed both pressure and bacteriological (Bac-T) testing — an important milestone! Underground utility work and connections continue this week and into next. With winter approaching, crews plan to finish underground work, install as much sidewalk as weather allows, and prepare a temporary gravel roadway for winter. Asphalt paving will wait until conditions are suitable next construction season. The contractor will maintain the temporary roadway throughout the winter.

🔹 Richards Street Bridge – WYDOT Project

Concrete work continues as the project moves toward completion. The bridge is still anticipated to reopen mid-to-late November, weather permitting.

⚠️ Riverwalk Closure: The section of riverwalk directly beneath the Richards Street Bridge will be closed November 4–10 while overhead construction takes place. Please do not go around barricades or enter the closed area. The bridge and pedestrian walkway remain closed. Continue using the designated detour via Yellowstone Highway and Brownfield Road until the bridge officially reopens.

🔹 Labonte Road Project

Additional underground sewer issues have been identified, and the County, HDR, and Knife River are reviewing the necessary corrections. Remaining underground repairs will be postponed until spring. In the meantime, Knife River, the contractor, expects to restore the roadway next week due to saturated soil conditions following recent storms. The additional time will allow the roadway to dry sufficiently and provide a more stable base for paving. The revised schedule remains weather-dependent.

A Winter Construction Reminder

Some projects will carry into next year, but crews completed significant improvements this season. Please continue to respect construction barriers, closures, and detours. They keep both the public and construction crews safe. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as Douglas continues to make important infrastructure improvements!

Pardon Our Progress — we're getting there! 🚧
