Lyons River Clean Up

Thank You!!!

It was a hugely successful cleanup on Saturday! The community really turned out, we estimate 112 volunteers plus organizers scouring all over the river corridor and beyond. We even got some playground mulch turned and fluffed up in preparation for summer, it was just amazing.

Estimates of our results, we did weigh things as best we could and estimated some of the larger items:

• 165.6 pounds of recyclable materials collected and diverted to recycling

• 337 pounds of trash pulled from the river corridor, surrounding trails and Town property

• Plus an estimated over 200 pounds of scrap metal set aside for diversion including a buried trailer frame that was excavated from the Martin Parcel, a large TV antenna, a carburetor of some kind and more.

Thanks for helping take care of our town and our river corridor, Lyons!

2nd Ave Bridge Update

Thank you for your continued patience during 2nd Avenue bridge construction! The contractor team continues to work on bridge approaches and road reconstruction activities. The Town anticipates an increase in construction-related noise over the next few weeks.

Zak Dirt, the contractor will be working this upcoming Saturday.

The new bridge is longer and taller to eliminate obstructions and accommodate design flow rates. After the bridge deck cures, the contractor will form and pour the bridge sidewalks and railings. Retaining wall construction will continue along with placing embankment material and preparing bridge approaches for paving. The project is on schedule for completion this summer.
