Peru ready to reveal plans of major construction on Peoria Street

Another busy road will soon be torn up in Peru.

Opperman Construction of Pontiac is getting paid just over a million dollars to rebuild about six blocks of Peoria Street. They hope to start construction this month from just south of Shooting Park Road down to 9th Street. Work will go block to block and should be done by late fall. Besides new pavement, Peoria Street will also have new curb and gutters, sidewalks and sewer lines.

If you want to find out more on what’s involved with the Peoria Street construction plans, be at an informational meeting inside City Hall Thursday at 6.
