by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — The Lincoln Street project in southeast Wellington at the Hamel Addition is set to begin on Monday, Dec. 2. It will be a five to six month project. The map of the detour can be found here: Lincoln Detour 11-18-13 The detour is south on Fair to Fourth Street, then east to the Wellington City Limits. Lincoln Street will not be accessible. There is also a northern route for homes north of Lincoln which is shown on the map.

There was a meeting with about 30 people attending on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at Memorial Auditorium. Wellington City Manager Gus Collins said he fielded one question about pedestrian/youth traversing from Woodlawn to the east during construction.  He said the city is looking at an alternate route to make sure people can safely access their homes.
