Update on 5th ST NE street project for Monday August 24th 2026. Residents will have to use the Green Highlighted Detour Route. Detour will last for at least one week. There will be no thru traffic to County Road 7. Contractors will be digging up the Summerfield intersection to finish the underground and excavation of the new road. With school starting soon, SL Construction will do their best to get this reopened so traffic can travel on the normal route into town. We are trying to work out a solution for any kids that get picked up by bus if the road closure is still in effect. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please call Eyota City Hall at 545-2135 or Scott Schmidt at 254-3356 with and questions or concerns.
