Back in October, the City of Pella Public Works Department had an unexpected addition to their workload. The new task that is now being worked on by Shankster Masonry of Oskaloosa, is repairing the arch on the east end of the alley behind the Franklin street businesses, between Main and Broadway. Denny Byart with Pella Public Works says that the archway suffered structural damage by a semi that ran into it. Byart originally said in October that the repairs would depend on the weather, and workers on site say that with the current forecast, the arch should be repaired sometime next week.
