Areas around Ironwood will be seeing many sewer and water projects at work this summer, including major reconstruction on Lake Avenue. According to the Daily Globe, Scott Erickson, Ironwood’s city manager says Van Buskirk Road, East Ayer Street, downtown and Lake Avenue projects will begin once contractor bids are awarded. The largest portion with the longest duration will occur on Lake Avenue between Curry and Lake streets, he said. The road will be removed to replace utilities, followed by replacement of road, gutters, curbs and sidewalks. Of course with any construction, Erickson says the city will make every effort to keep residents informed of any closures detouring as the project progresses.
