Oregon street in South Muscatine is being graded and filled to improve drainage and ride quality. Workers have lowered sides by over a foot and rounded edges to divert rainwater off the main travel path, with crushed brick filling rough spots between Miles avenue and the river. A steam roller will follow the brick work to ensure a durable road for upcoming rains.
