Milling of streets in preparation for paving as part of a large-scale project will begin in Decatur Tuesday, July 22nd.
All the project’s sidewalk work has been completed, according to city Operations Manager Jeremy Gilbert.
Approximately two miles of new sidewalk has been added and next up will be the milling (removing the top layer) and paving of some two miles of streets.
The milling is expected to take six days, following six days of paving by general contractor DC Construction of Pendleton.
The project is taking place in the northwest area of the city.
The tentative order released by DC Construction is as follows:
N. Third St.
N. Fourth St.
Jackson St.
Marshall St.
W. Marshall St.
Indiana St.
N. Seventh St.
Short St.
Jackson St.
It is hoped that the entire project, now in its 16th week, can be wrapped up by the end of August.
The project is funded by a grant of $1,456,125 from the state’s Community Crossings fund, with a 25% match provided by the city.
