The projects are part of the City’s Pavement Management Program and were approved previously by the Council. The projects were awarded to Haskell Lemon and TJ Campbell at a total cost of a little more than $2.2 million.
The projects will be funded by sales tax revenue through the Fiscal Year 2020 and Fiscal Year 2021 Pavement Management Programs; except for the airport project that will be covered by airport funds.
“These are important projects that will improve key Stillwater streets,” said Monty Karns, Director of City Engineering. “These projects are part of our ongoing work to effectively maintain and upgrade our streets to best serve the citizens of Stillwater.”
The upgrades will be staggered and should all be completed by April 2022.
