Bellefonte streets set for paving
BELLEFONTE - Work will start in about a week on paving of two streets in Bellefonte, according to Paul Amburgey of E.L. Robinson Engineering.
The $89,000 contract calls for resurfacing 0.7 miles of Bellefonte Drive from Ky. 5 to Amanda Furnace Drive and 0.6 miles of Amanda Furnace Drive from Bellefonte Drive to the end. Amanda Furnace Circle also will be paved.
The cost is less than the $100,000 the city budgeted but still above the city’s annual street fund budget.
The city will pay for it out of $131,000 in grants from the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority.
Sections of each street will be temporarily closed as resurfacing progresses. The contractor will maintain traffic and place construction signs notifying of roadwork and detour requirements.
For more information, call the city building at (606) 324-6035 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
