Each resurfacing project begins with milling the top surface of asphalt and repaving it with a new layer roughly two to four inches thick. Most milling and paving projects take three to five days to complete and require lane restrictions.
The city received a Community Crossings Matching Grant from the Indiana Department of Transportation in late 2024 for nearly $1.5 million. The total for resurfacing projects, including grant dollars, is nearly $3.2 million for 2025.
“With record investment in infrastructure projects this year, we are grateful for the Community Crossings Matching Grant dollars to put towards our projects,” Mayor Willis said. “We continue to prioritize updating our current infrastructure while planning for future improvements.”
