EDWARDSVILLE - Lake Drive from Hale Avenue to Madison Avenue in Edwardsville will be closed for construction of a retaining wall along the Eastern bank of Leclaire Lake beginning Aug. 7, 2017, through Aug. 25, 2017.

Kelller Construction Co. is doing the project. The work will remedy erosion issues along the lake shore, which have since compromised the existing fence and sidewalk along Madison Avenue, David Sirko, P.E., assistant city engineer, said.
