Construction update! 🚧

Summer may be winding down, but road construction is still in full swing! 🚧 The good news? A lot of progress has been made across the City.

Want to see where projects stand? Visit our Engineering page for updates on current road construction projects and what’s ahead: https://cityofsunprairie.com/293/Engineering

As you navigate construction zones, please remember to slow down, stay alert, and be patient. We know construction can be frustrating, but the safer, smoother finished projects will be well worth it. Thanks for helping keep our crews and fellow drivers safe.
