Construction Updates – 2023

SRTS Project Information:
August 1st Update
The crews are still working on High Street. There is some sub-par work that did not meet quality control, and will need to be removed and replaced. They are also currently working on Amity St. Foote St. will be the next work area.

From there, they intend to move over to the Henry, Mikesell, Bonnie, Cherry Street areas to try and complete those streets before school starts.

May 31st Update
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the SRTS construction will commence the week of June 5th. This will provide for completion of marking underground utilities and minimize impacts to the students finalizing their school year this week. As a reminder, if you see utility markings in your yard please do not remove them. 

May 26th Update
Construction will begin on Tuesday, May 30th, weather permitting. The contractor is planning to begin work on W. Seminary, Van Lieu, and W. Lawrence.  Property owners in those areas should be seeing the MISS DIG flags in their yards.  We will continue to update affected areas during the construction process. Additionally, we will not enforce no overnight street parking in those areas affected by construction when the pavement/driveways are inaccessible.

April 7th Update
The tree contractor has begun work to grind stumps and clean up debris. They’re starting on Pearl St and working their way around town. Please be patient as it may take a couple of weeks to complete all the stump grinding and clean up work.

February 24th Update
The project has been awarded to C&D Hughes of Charlotte by MDOT. A preconstruction meeting was held last week (Feb 15) to finalize construction details with the contractor.

Tree removals will be completed from March 1 – through March 31st.

Sidewalk construction will start after Memorial Day tentatively. The contractor anticipates starting on High Street and working their way around the City from there but this is not finalized. We will provide details on locations and dates once we have them.

Rowe PSC will have inspectors on site for the duration of the project.

An overview of the sidewalk installation locations can be found here: Overview – SRTS and detailed pages here: Plan Views – SRTS
