Street Reconstruction

What is planned?

The E 2nd Street/Edgewood Reconstruction Project includes new pavement, curbs and gutters, stormwater improvements, street lighting and sidewalks. This will be a complete reconstruction, so there will be significant impacts for residents who live along or near E 2nd Street between the Co-Op and Nelson Street and for residents along Edgewood between E 2nd Street and W 4th Street. East 3rd Street from Nelson to Martin will also be reconstructed as part of this project.

All roads will be completely removed and replaced.

Any area that is torn up during construction will be restored to existing or better condition.

Edgerton has received a $1 million cost-share grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation to help offset the costs of construction.

UPDATED Timeline

Warmer than expected temperatures in the late fall allowed crews to complete all of E. 2nd Street pavement. Edgewood is on track to be paved in the spring 2026, as shown on the map below.

Work will continue on utilities along Edgewood as long as the weather permits. Once the weather is consistently cold and/or precipitation is expected, the contractor will button up the construction area. That could include preparing the road for snow clearing, adding new temporary signage, clean-up of the construction zone and traffic control.
