(KLZA)-- Is the work on Highway 73 through Falls City completed, and when will work be completed on Highway 8 through Falls City? These two questions have been asked often in recent months.

Work on both projects began in the spring of 2018.  
During the Monday night Council meeting, Acting Mayor Don Ferguson voiced his displeasure with the cement work from 19th Street south to  7th Street on Harlan, and not being able to find out if the project is considered complete. 

Ferguson suggested the Council push for answers on the Highway 73 project from the Department of Transportation,    the District 1HIghway Commission representative and ask the newly appointed State Senator to help find answers.

City Administrator Gary Jorn says without the the concrete being milled from 19th Street south to 7th Street, he feels the work  is unacceptable. 

Jorn suggested a conversation take place with District 1 Highway Commissioner Mary Gerdes to get the ball rolling  toward finding answers.

Some work was done on Highway 8 in Falls City late in the fall but the project is mostly incomplete inside the city limits.
