The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is expected to begin work on a downtown Sun Prairie intersection early next month. The debris field from the fatal July 10th explosion and fire has been cleaned up and city officials say the destroyed buildings will be removed by August 31st. A contractor caused the blast by hitting a gas main and creating a leak. Firefighter Captain Cory Barr was killed and firefighter Ryan Welch seriously injured. The intersection should be completely restored by December. Twenty-four-hour security patrols are being ended.
