Construction crews are slated this week to begin putting down asphalt on Mission Lane at the Village Shops, among the final steps before major construction is completed there and the road can reopen.

In an update to property managers Lega-C Properties last week, John Davis of Foresight, the company managing the renovations, said he expects to be able to wrap up the bulk of the work there between Aug. 15 and 20. He said he anticipates that there will be a number of details to wrap up — completion of a fountain and installation of lighting — but that the once asphalt paving is complete the businesses at the shopping center should be able to resume more normal operations. Davis said he hoped to have the entire project completed by Sept. 15.
