Stormwater improvements on Dear Street will begin next week. The contractor for the City of Kirksville, Boone Construction, will begin work on a stormwater improvement project to replace a box culvert on Dear Street on August 16th. The project will consist of constructing a single-cell concrete box culvert across Dear Street and relocating a section of water main. This will result in the temporary closure of Dear Street – near 1310 E. Dear St. – from approximately August 18 to September 24th.
