Richfield approves 1300 South project

The Richfield City Council awarded a bid to Rasmussen Construction for a project that will include improvements on 1300 South and 800 South during a meeting Aug. 28. The construction on 1300 South will included the widening of the road, and installation of turn lanes so that a traffic signal can be installed. The signal, Richfield’s sixth, will be the first one not located on the city’s Main Street. Instead, it will be at the intersection of 1300 South and College Avenue. The construction will affect between one and three blocks worth of roadway. The low bid on the project, submitted by Rasmussen Construction, was $564,295. While construction could start this fall, Creamer said it will depend on schedules and the weather. Richfield Reaper
