Good news is underway on one of Aurora’s busiest corridors: the East State Street Reconstruction project has reached a significant new milestone, with roadway excavation now set to begin while storm sewer work continues to progress along the route.

The update, shared by the City of Aurora, signals that the long-anticipated reconstruction effort is moving forward on schedule. Crews have been actively working on storm sewer improvements as part of a broader effort to modernize the street’s infrastructure, and the start of roadway excavation marks the next major phase of the project.

For Aurora residents and commuters who travel East State Street regularly, the reconstruction represents a meaningful investment in the city’s road network. Projects like this one improve not only the driving surface itself but also the underground systems — such as storm sewers — that protect neighborhoods from flooding and keep traffic flowing safely year-round.

While construction activity can bring temporary inconveniences, the end result will be a significantly improved roadway that serves Aurora drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians for years to come. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the project’s progress and plan alternate routes as needed during active construction phases.

Infrastructure improvements like the East State Street Reconstruction are a reminder that Aurora continues to invest in the foundations that keep the community connected, safe, and moving forward. Stay tuned for further updates as excavation gets underway and the project advances toward completion.
