City announces $819K paving program

Posted

City streets may may ride a little more smoothly as a summer paving program gets under way.

The city plans to spend $819,411 repaving streets in all four wards using money it has received from the state. Custom Paving Inc. of Lake received the contract. Its job is to maintain traffic control, clean the streets, apply the tack coat, and haul and place asphalt at the rate of $141.59 per ton.

“We have already started with the foundation work of laying culverts and replacing the broken ones,” said Mayor James Young. “Hopefully, the paving itself will start in mid-July.

“This is the second year we have had a big paving program during the summer. Hopefully we will have one next year, based on the availability of some money coming from the state.”
