Local roads are being improved and other necessary work will be completed this fall. View/print project layout (PDF).

Benefits include:
- Safe access to local businesses using the new ramps, frontage road and improved local system
- Maintains the right-turn from northbound Hwy 52 to Hampton’s east-side businesses
- Culverts were replaced for drainage improvements
