The Hamilton County Commissioners have established a road resurfacing plan for the coming construction season. Nearly 36 miles of road surface will be repaved assuming bids for the work do not exceed available funds.
County Highway Director Brad Davis said $3.2 million is available for the planned work which is expected to start when weather warms. Most of the paving will be done in short stretches including several portions of 106th Street between Allisonville Road and Hague Road, Jerkwater Road between 254th and 296th streets, and Cumberland Road between Allisonville Road and 234th Street.
Also on the list for repaving are sections of 104th Street, 105th Street, Jessup Avenue, Cornell Street, McPherson Street, Combs Avenue and Ethel Avenue in the Home Place area.
In Delaware Township, Chevy Chase, La Canada, Los Robles, Roses and San Vincente Boulevard in the Lynnwood Hills addition are scheduled for new pavement.
There will also be new pavement on sections of 191st and 206th streets in Noblesville and Wayne townships.
The resurfacing will be done by contractors, but sealing and repair of existing pavement will be done by county crews. Davis stressed that residents should report locations of chuckholes either online at the highway department website or by calling (317) 773-7770. Crews are currently filling these holes when found or reported.
Major projects for the current year include building another dual lane 146th Street west to Towne Road, completing the new 276th Street between U.S. 31 and State Road 19, and construction of the Lowe’s Flyway connection from 146th Street to southbound Keystone Parkway.
This week Davis and county commissioners are in Washington seeking to see that funds will be included in new infrastructure legislation that will aid Hamilton County.
