Current Projects - Summer 2026
Crews with Mid-America Road Builders will be chip sealing several streets beginning in September. Roads that will receive this treatment are:
- West 7th Street and Hulett, North of Nelson
- 1st Street, North of Nelson
- Hulett Street, from 1st to East 4th
- McCarty, from 1st to East 4th
Residents who live in this area will receive a door hanger with information about dates and times. Cars will need to be removed from the street while crews are working.
These streets will be temporarily blocked while crews are working. The process typically takes less than 1 hour per street and up to 24 hours to cure. You can drive slowly over the surface during the curing process.
July 2026- Work is wrapping up 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.
August Update: Work has been completed on this project.
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.
