Council gave the final go ahead for the projects at the Tuesday meeting and East Alabama Paving is beginning work on the project today. According to the city, “FY 2009 resurfacing has begun, and while the city has not yet been given a comprehensive schedule for the various streets scheduled to be resurfaced in the coming months, East Alabama Paving has given the city schedules for roads they plan to begin milling on Friday, January 9th and Monday, January 12th. ”
Friday, January 9th – Milling Begins: North 4th Street at the intersection of 2nd Avenue. Will begin first thing in the morning, and it will cause slight traffic delays for a very short time Friday morning! First it’s North 3rd Street – from 2nd Avenue to Edge Court and then South 7th Street – from Avenue B to Columbus Parkway (will start to mill on Friday and probably finish on Monday)
Monday, January 12th – Milling Begins: First finish South 7th Street, Old Opelika Road and Airport Road
Motorists are asked to used caution when driving in these areas. East Alabama Paving will have flagmen in place if necessary to help motorists traveling through these areas. A complete schedule of FY 2009 resurfacing schedules will be posted just as soon as the City of Opelika receives them. (Source: City of Opelika Website)
