Earlier this spring due to a severe freeze-thaw cycle and heavy truck traffic, portions of CR 875 E, CR 500 S, CR 400 S and CR 800 E were temporarily repaired with gravel. These emergency repairs were done this way due to the fact that asphalt was not yet being produced and was therefore unavailable. The permanent asphalt repairs were legally required to be advertised for public bid, and the low bidder will be awarded the contract by the end of June. These temporary gravel sections are expected to be repaired with asphalt during the month of July.
UPDATE: The contract has been awarded but a specific schedule has not been submitted by the contractor. By contract, all repairs are to be substantially complete by September 20th, and town staff is pressing the contractor to commence work.
UPDATE: Work is scheduled to commence the week of August 9th on the various repair areas throughout town.
