Road paving set to begin

0

Road paving is expected to begin today in Seymour, weather permitting, and continue through the end of June.

All or portions of more than 50 city streets are scheduled to be repaved this spring, totaling around 6.5 miles of local roadway.

Crews with Dave O’Mara Contractor in North Vernon will start working south of U.S. 50 and west of the railroad, according to a news release from the city.

Residents in each neighborhood impacted by the work will receive notice via door hanger not to park on the street for a period of 30 days or until the paving has been completed. Once paving is finished, residents may park on the street that evening, said city engineer Nathan Frey.

It’s the most ambitious road paving schedule the city has ever been able to attempt thanks to increased state funding from the 2016 Community Crossing Grant program, Frey said.

The city received a total of $960,913.10 in matching funds from Indiana Department of Transportation last August. That money was combined with a special one-time distribution of state Economic Development Income Tax funds and a capital bond the city issued last spring for a total of nearly $2 million to use for road maintenance.

Some of the work was completed last fall.

Roads targeted for repaving have been identified in a city wide asset management plan the city put in place in 2014 that rates road conditions.
