A section of Yosemite Avenue is detoured at E Street as construction crews from Rolfe Construction continue working on replacing the water mains.

People driving through downtown may have to maneuver around traffic cones or suffer delays, but it’s all for the better in the long run. 

The City of Madera is working diligently to replace the water main underneath Yosemite Avenue, some of which have not been replaced in more than 75 years. 

All of that is to get ready for a major road project headed by CalTrans.
