Milestone to begin work on State Street

Milestone Contractors L.P. will begin work Monday, April 5, on a $1.3 million asphalt resurface contract along State Street (State Road 46) in Columbus. Patching, milling and paving will take place from Mapleton Street to Repp Court.

Crews will begin with upgrading existing curb ramps throughout project limits. This is expected to take about a month. Milling and paving is scheduled to follow in early May. All contract work is planned to take place at night, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Various lane closures will be in place during this time with flaggers directing traffic as needed.

The contract was awarded in August 2020 and is expected to be complete by the end of October 2021. Motorists are reminded to slow down, use extra caution and drive distraction-free through construction zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
