County buildings receive new sidewalk

Posted

Work on a Moody County-owned sidewalk is going great so far, according to Commission Assistant Marty Skroch.

The sidewalk is on Pipestone Avenue in front of the sheriff’s office, the Closet Thrift Store and Inter-lakes Community Action Partnership.

Big Al’s Contracting out of Sioux Falls started work on the project after Memorial Day weekend and has moved just under a week ahead of schedule. The sidewalk was made more accessible to all, including a lower portion so anyone parking along the street can open doors and get out more easily. It includes a ramp on the north portion.

Skroch said they were back walking in the front door of the sheriff’s office already last week, which was anticipated for June 15 in the worst case scenario.

The contractor hoped to be done pouring cement by Monday, June 12, and then place the railings, which need to get delivered and should be in by the end of June or early July.

“They’ve really kept moving,” Skroch said. He said they are hoping this week the thrift store will be back up and running.
