The road-widening project on West Glenn Avenue, between Donahue Drive and North College Street should be completed by the end of August, according to Auburn Director of Public Works Jeff Ramsey.
"The contractor is making good progress," Ramsey said. "They are putting in a curving gutter, some storm drains, and we've laid quit a bit of storm pipe already, and hopefully if the weather holds out and everything continues on we should be threw with this project at the end of August."
The construction includes widening Glenn Avenue to three lanes from Donahue Drive to North College Street, with a middle turning lane to decrease traffic congestion.
The city counsel approved the work in April and the job is under contract by D&J Enterprises.
Other projects currently underway include the Moore's Mill Road Improvement Project, Bragg Avenue widening, Hamilton Road asphalt repair and the Moore's Mill Road and North Donahue Drive Bridge Replacement.
