Marshall County Highway Supervisor Jason Peters told the county council members on Monday that paving is underway on 6th Road, but the weather hasn’t cooperated in order for that project to be done in a timely manner.
Peters said chip and seal work will begin next week.
“We’re tentatively looking at the 18th to start our chip and seal program,” said Peters. “That would get us about two weeks ahead of the normal time in July when everybody seems to peak. We’re getting a little bit of a jump on that than be right there right in the middle of everything.”
Councilwoman Penny Lukenbill said the completed North Michigan Street paving project is wonderful. The county council paid for that stretch of paving when Community Crossings money couldn’t stretch to fulfill funding for that priority project. Walsh and Kelly crews performed the work that went from Tyler Road to 1st Road north of LaPaz.
