Construction resuming on major metro street Monday

Construction resumes Monday on the Beaverdale Streetscape project in Des Moines.

City officials said the work will run April 6-17. It's starting about 9 a.m. Monday.

Street closures will be part of the construction so work can be completed on underground storm sewers.

City officials said a 100-foot section of Beaver Avenue will be closed in the 2700 block. Urbandale Avenue is expected to remain open during the construction.

Two-way traffic will be routed onto the east side of Beaver Avenue while work is being performed on the west part of the roadway starting April 17.

Construction on the nearly $1.8 million streetscaping project started in May 2014. The improvements are being made from Beavercrest Drive and north to near Christopher's Restaurant along Beaver Avenue. A big goal of the project is to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment.
