Progress continues on the reconstruction of Jefferson Avenue in downtown Effingham.

City Senior Engineering Technician Greg Koester said the contractor is working today on the red brick stamped crosswalks, and have started removing pavement for Phase 4 between 4th and 3rd Streets.

On Wednesday, the contractor will be pouring some sections of sidewalk while filling the pavement joints, sealing the crosswalks, cleaning up and moving the construction fence, and traffic control.

Koester said, barring anything unusual, Phase 3 from 5th to 4th Streets will be opened to traffic Thursday afternoon or Friday morning this week.
