COLUMBUS, Ind. — Columbus will have a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new railroad overpass on the city’s west side at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
City engineer Dave Hayward said the ceremony will be held in the parking lot of Columbus Veterinary Services at 240 Jonesville Road, Columbus.
The $35 million overpass project is “basically complete,” Hayward said, with contractors finishing a few minor details, including some landscaping.
Hayward said previously that the city would go out for landscaping bids in January and that the work could be finished early spring or summer or possibly late next year.
Milestone Contractors was the Indiana Department of Transportation contractor on the project, which began with a groundbreaking ceremony last November.
The overpass project that is being jointly funded by the Indiana Department of Transportation, city of Columbus, Bartholomew County, Cummins Inc. and the Louisville & Indiana and CSX railroads.
