COLUMBUS, Ind. — Residents of eight rural neighborhoods in Bartholomew County can look forward to driving on new blacktops in their neighborhoods.
Just one month after receiving a $990,928 state matching grant to repave 22 miles of rural roads, the Bartholomew County Highway Dept. announced they have remaining funds sufficient for laying down fresh asphalt on an additional 8.21 miles of roads, county highway engineer Danny Hollander said.
A decision was made to devote the entire Phase Two of the county’s overlay program to residential subdivisions, Hollander said. The locations, project lengths and estimated costs are:
Clay Township
- Jewell Village (1.95 miles) – $127,410.
- Webbs Way, from County Road 650 East to the east Terminus (0.17 miles) – $12,345.
