(Greencastle, Ind.) The City of Greencastle announced today that it will be completing several street improvement projects around the community. The Board of Public Works and Safety recently awarded a $905,875 contract to Feutz Contractors, Inc., and a $498,743 contract to DC Construction Services, Inc., to complete the work.
The Feutz Contractors contract is funded in part by a $679,406 Community Crossings grant from the Indiana Department of Transportation. Weather permitting, work will begin on or after September 11 with an anticipated completion date of November 15. The schedule may have to be adjusted depending on weather or other conditions.
The Community Crossings improvements include:
Poplar Street from Locust Street to Madison Street
Madison Street from Poplar Street to Franklin Street
Gardenside Drive from Wood Street to Hammond Street
Hammond Street from Gardenside Drive to Washington Street
Ohio Street from Locust Street to Crown Street
The DC Construction Services contract was awarded for annual street resurfacing work funded through Motor Vehicle Highway funds budgeted by the City Council. Work will start September 18 with a completion date of November 30.
This work includes primarily milling the existing pavement and resurfacing of the following streets:
Both contractors will maintain traffic and access during the work. Vehicle access may be restricted from time to time to allow for work activities and to allow concrete to cure. During repaving, access may be limited while the asphalt cures. Adjoining residents are asked not to park on the street during the construction period.
Every other year, the City updates its pavement management plan to help guide decisions on street resurfacing projects. For 2023, the City Council budgeted additional funds for street improvement projects. These funds provided the match for the Community Crossings grant and the annual street resurfacing project.
“We appreciate the support of the members of the City Council and Board of Works for these projects,” said Mayor Bill Dory. “Our Public Works and Engineering team help select the candidates for improvement while our Clerk-Treasurer ensures the budgeted funds are available to pay for the projects. We understand that these street improvements can be disruptive for nearby residents, and we appreciate their patience throughout this process.”
The Locust Street project should be completed by September 15. The pavement is in place with work on landscaping and street lighting underway to finish the project. This project, funded with a substantial INDOT grant provided significant improvements to our storm sewer system in preparation for the 2024 phase of the US 231 project. The storm sewer system on US 231 will tie into the Locust Street system.
INDOT will continue work on the US 231 project from Washington Street to SR 240. In 2024, work will shift to Washington Street and Jackson Street. INDOT’s SR 240 project continues toward completion with paving work on the shoulders.
