Here is a quick update on the progress of construction on Leahy Street between Sherman and Barney in Muskegon Heights. We are seeing some light at the end of the construction tunnel!
NOTE: Please DO NOT PARK OR DRIVE ON the new concrete for a MINIMUM of THREE days after the concrete is poured to allow it time to set up and cure and achieve full strength. Please do not mark up the new concrete. It will set up to be hard enough to walk on within 4-6 hours after it is finished.
