Motorists will notice some street paving in portions of the City of Smithville.
City Public Works Director Kevin Robinson told WJLE that either all or a portion of streets are being paved on Way Cross Way, Mary Street, O’Conner Street, Tramel Lane, Dry Creek Road, White Oak Drive, West Main Street where the sewer line construction took place several months ago, and patch job on Allen Chapel Road near Federal Mogul.
Last summer, the aldermen awarded a bid to Tinsley Asphalt Company of Tullahoma for street paving at $70.40 per ton, which was the lowest of the three bids submitted. The bid prices are good for a year.
The city’s 2016-17 State Street Aid budget has $350,000 for paving including $250,000 for the streets around the public square (which were completed last year) and $100,000 for other city streets.
