Last month, the Champaign County Engineer’s Office, under contract with the city, chip sealed James between South Edgewood avenues, and College Way and South Edgewood Avenue between State Route 55 and Miami Street. Later this summer, these chip sealed streets will be fog sealed, and South Edgewood Avenue will be restriped.
Earlier this summer, First Star Safety LLC restriped the pavement markings on South Jefferson and Patrick avenues (State Route 54), Washington from East Lawn to North Jefferson avenues, U.S. Route 68 South near the Urbana K-8 school building, and East Powell Avenue from South Main and South Kenton streets.
Later this summer, the Ohio Department of Transportation, under contract with the John R. Jurgensen Company, will resurface North Main Street between Washington Avenue and Gwynne Street to the northern corporation limits, as well as U.S. Route 68 North from Urbana to the Champaign/Logan County line.
Safety improvements will also be made to the striping layout and signage within the project corridor. This project will be completed by Oct. 15.
