You might have noticed that work was not occurring on some corners recently…this is due to the inability of the supplier to deliver the concrete. We’re now back on track – see updated schedule at right!

The City of Ketchum is partnering with the City of Sun Valley to reconstruct Sun Valley Road this summer, as the roadway has reached the end of its useful life. Construction will begin on the City of Ketchum’s portion this month and will be completed in phases.

The reconstruction of Sun Valley Road (Main Street to Spruce Avenue) will:

• improve the ADA accessibility at each sidewalk corner in all intersections
• provide bulb-outs at each intersection to make crosswalks safer for pedestrians
• rebuild the roadway. 

As the project moves forward residents and businesses should expect minor travel delays.  Pedestrian access to properties and businesses will be maintained at all times. During construction of roadway improvements, up to one block of periodic closures could occur affecting vehicular travel. Detour routes will be posted.  The city has asked the contractor to minimize impacts to local businesses as much as possible.
