Mayor announces Dairy Lane closure for utility work; Uptown improvements and Stimson Avenue bridge painting continue

The mayor told listeners that Dairy Lane will be closed beginning April 20 for utility work and that drivers should expect detours around the affected area. He identified the work as being performed by a local utility contractor (referred to in the update as AEP) and said other utilities across the city will also be conducting summer projects.

In the same segment the mayor provided an update on the Uptown Improvements project, saying that utilities are being moved underground and that financing for the work includes funding from the Appalachian Communities Grant Program. He also said the '68256' roundabout project is progressing toward a projected November completion and described ongoing painting of steelwork beneath the Stimson Avenue bridge; guardrail installation and lighting beneath the bridge were described as the next steps.

The mayor framed these remarks as progress updates and public notices; no formal budget vote or ordinance was announced on-air. Residents seeking more precise lane-closure timelines or contractor contact information were not provided those details in the update and should consult the city's official channels for traffic advisories and construction schedules.
