- Friday, August 16 – Utility work under School St. will begin. Expect coordinated lane reductions as crews move north across School St.
- Friday, August 23 – Crews will move from School St. to the Elk River High School parking lot in order to make the final connection to the new Multipurpose Facility.
Crews hope to have all this utility installation complete by (or before) Friday, August 30 weather depending. For everything Active Elk River, including construction updates, photos, renderings and more visit ActiveElkRiver.com.
