Project Update

The Cookerly IRRP project, originally planned for 2022 construction was delayed until 2023 due to unforeseen staffing changes, material cost escalation, and other large 2022 construction projects. Bids were opened on December 1, 2022, and the project was awarded to Premier Excavation on December 21, 2022.

During construction, the contractor is required to maintain one traffic lane in each direction at the Wellington-Hwy 12 underpass.

ADA compliant cement concrete curb ramps will be installed at intersections within the project limits.
