🚧 Construction has officially begun 🎉

Friendly reminder: the Lechler Building site is now an active construction zone. Do not enter the site while improvements are being made.

Construction on the Lechler Building Renovation project is expected to begin shortly.

The project will modernize the City's Public Service garage facility on Murphy Parkway through building renovations, a new addition and site improvements. Once complete, the facility will provide increased storage capacity for public service operations and equipment.

The site will also serve as the future home of a trail connection linking Library Park to Murphy Parkway as part of the future S. Liberty Road railroad crossing project.

Construction is expected to be completed within six months. Thank you for your patience as this work is completed.

Earlier this week, Powell's Public Service and Engineering Departments worked closely with CSX to make temporary repairs to the Seldom Seen Road railroad crossing in preparation of further repairs. 🛠️

This collaboration resulted in crossing timbers being replaced and the road being repaired with cold patch asphalt.

Our staff continues to stay in regular contact with CSX and push for the final repairs to begin as soon as possible.
