Current Projects - Summer 2026
March 2026- Work is underway on this project. Check the link below for the most current status.
Project updates will be posted here.
The Project:
The 2nd Street Reconstruction Project will improve one of the more heavily traveled routes through Edgerton. The project calls for street improvements, stormwater improvements, sidewalks and streetlighting to make the road safer for both drivers and pedestrians.
The project includes reconstruction of of E 2nd Street from Nelson St to City Limits and W Edgewood Drive from E 2nd Street to W 4th Street. East 3rd Street from Nelson to Martin will also be reconstructed as part of this project. This project is in preliminary design with final design plans anticipated in 2024. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025. A public meeting will be held in May to present the project to residents and businesses.
City Council approved a contract with Renaissance Infrastructure Consulting (RIC) to complete a land survey and preliminary design for the project. Homeowners along 2nd Street may notice utility marking flags in their yards as part of this process.
UPDATE (June 1): The contractor plans to begin work later this month on curb and gutter replacements along West 7th, Martin, and West 5th Streets (the neighborhood south of the school).
Pavement markings are expected to begin late this summer.
The Project: The 2026 Street Preservation project will include curb replacement on West 7th and Martin and chip-seal on several roads north of Nelson Street. There will also be pavement markings downtown and in high-traffic zones around the City.
The PCI has been completed and the engineers are now working to compile the data and build a plan for future program years. The results will go before Council in the coming months.
January 2026: Design for improvements for the City lift station and Big Bull Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant are underway.
The Project:
The City extended sewer service to the new Dwyer Farms subdivision at the corner of 8th and Braun streets. As part of this project additional upgrades to the sewer system and the Big Bull Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant are planned.
The City was awarded a low-interest loan through the State of Kansas, as well as a federal grant from the EPA to reduce the loan amount. The loan will be paid back using RHID funding, which applies to the new housing development. There is no rate increase expected for current residents because of this project.
January 2026:
Work is complete on CDBG. This continuing sanitary sewer rehabilitation project is expected to return in 2027.
The Project:
The City is continuing our sanitary sewer system rehabilitation project that started in 2021. The project replaces clay tile pipe with cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), which is a jointless, seamless, pipe-within-a-pipe that will reduce inflow and infiltration of storm water into our sanitary sewer system. Crews will also make point repairs and rehab manholes in the project area. For 2025, the area that will receive work is between W 8th Street and E. 5th Street, north of Nelson Street. The goal of this project is to reduce inflow and infiltration of storm water into the City's sanitary sewer lines.
Construction is anticipated in late summer or early fall. Impacted residents will be notified before work begins. Johnson County CDBG has awarded Edgerton $200,000 for the 2025 rehabilitation project.
