COLUMBUS, Ind. — Long-running closures. Unnecessary additions. Lengthy delays. A “complete waste of money.”
These are just some of the complaints about the nearly $5 million Taylor Road project, which began in the spring of 2020 and is still ongoing.
The phase now underway is 25th to 31st Street, said City Engineer Dave Hayward. The section from 31st to Rocky Ford Road is mostly finished.
“There’s still some paving work to do on the first phase, from 31st to Rocky Ford,” he said. “And there’s also a little bit of storm sewer work that is being done. We found some issues that we wanted to deal with right up front and get those taken care of. So there’s a little bit of drainage work that’s still to be done.”
Taylor Road from 25th to 31st Street is closed, as well as the intersecting side streets. The northern phase of the project is open, but this is mainly limited to residential traffic only.
