Council Approves Mill and Overlay Program
COLLINSVILLE – Multiple streets will be receiving much needed attention as the Collinsville City Council unanimously approved a mill and overlay program at the May 24 meeting. The ordinance is to award a mill and overlay contact to Rooters Asphalt in the amount of $304,411.20. This bid came in under the $350,096.72 engineer’s estimate and under the $400,000 budgeted. According to Associate Engineer Kevin Madden, the project includes the mill and overlay of Northview Drive, Windridge Drive, West Clay Street and a portion of the Gateway Convention Center parking lot. Madden said the roads have significant cracking, including deformation to Northview Drive and by doing the mill and overlay the life of the road can be extended by as much as 20 years. Included in this project is restriping the roads as well as curb repairs where needed. This work is scheduled to begin on June 13 and be completed by September 1.
