WILMINGTON – The long-anticipated improvements along the Rombach Avenue corridor will be underway next week, with lane closures beginning the evening of Thursday, June 3, the City of Wilmington announced.
The Rombach Avenue Improvements Project is nearly three miles long. The project begins at the intersection of Fife Avenue and Rombach Avenue and terminates at the eastern corporation limit at Starbuck Road. Improvements to East Side Drive are part of the project as well.
The project was originally slated for last year, but COVID-19 resulted in its postponement to 2021.
The construction is planned in multiple phases. The first phase of the project includes water main construction, minor storm sewer repairs, construction of a shared-use path, pavement repair, improvements to the turn radius at Lowe’s Drive, loon (traffic turnaround) construction at the intersection of Progress Way, and signal work.
