5th Street repaving

Completed full concrete reconstruction of S. 5th Street (Historic Route 66) from Poplar to Main Street by Schwarz Paving. The old concrete base had not been properly maintained in approximately 30 years. The new all-concrete road is expected to last 30 to 40 years, providing a durable surface for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians on this historic corridor.

What it means: 30-year neglected corridor rebuilt with 30-40 year lifespan concrete
