That means Indiana drivers remain affected by the suspension of the state’s Gas Use Tax and Gasoline Excise Tax. At the same time, state and local transportation accounts are losing revenue they normally receive from fuel taxes, with replacement money being approved in stages.

What changed after Aug. 6

Executive Order 26-16 covered the previous suspension through Aug. 6. Executive Order 26-20, issued Aug. 5, declared a new energy emergency for all Indiana counties and continued the suspension beginning Aug. 7.

The orders are consecutive. The scheduled expiration of Executive Order 26-16 did not end the suspension because Executive Order 26-20 established a new period immediately afterward.

The current order sets Sept. 5 as the scheduled end date unless the governor terminates or extends the emergency by another order. Taxes therefore are not guaranteed to resume on Sept. 5 if the state takes additional action.

What drivers should expect at the pump

The suspended taxes are Indiana’s Gas Use Tax and Gasoline Excise Tax. According to the Indiana Department of Revenue, both are collected at the distributor level rather than charged as separate retail taxes at the pump.

Suspending collection at the distributor level is intended to reduce the price passed through to the pump. Drivers should not expect every station to show the same reduction, however. Retail prices also reflect wholesale fuel costs, market conditions and station pricing.

The Department of Revenue says distributors and retailers must follow its filing, reporting and reconciliation instructions for the affected periods. The agency’s guidance also says retailers should work with their distributors if suspended-period taxes were collected from them.

Why road agencies are part of the story

Fuel-tax collections support transportation accounts including the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund, the Local Road and Street Fund and the Local Road and Bridge Matching Fund. Those accounts help distribute roadway money to the state, counties, cities and towns.

The suspension does not eliminate every source of road funding. The state comptroller’s office said other revenue distributed through the Motor Vehicle Highway and Local Road and Street accounts continued on regular schedules. But suspending the two fuel taxes reduces the revenue flowing into accounts used for roadway and infrastructure work.

How reimbursement works

On July 21, the State Board of Finance approved $121,159,722 for the suspension period from April 8 through May 31, according to the Indiana State Comptroller’s Office. The money was directed to the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund, the Local Road and Street Fund and the Local Road and Bridge Matching Fund.

Of that total, $37,834,329.54 was designated for local units of government. The reimbursement formulas follow the same statutory formulas used for normal Motor Vehicle Highway and Local Road and Street distributions.

The first approval covered only the April-through-May period. Additional reimbursement requests must go before the State Board of Finance, and the comptroller’s office expects all reimbursements to be completed by Nov. 1, pending those future approvals.

For counties, cities and towns, that means replacement transportation money may arrive in stages rather than as one completed payment covering the entire suspension. Local governments will need to track later Board of Finance actions when planning roadway and bridge spending.

How large is the fiscal effect?

Indiana Capital Chronicle reported that the gas-tax suspensions could reduce state and local revenue by approximately $533 million combined. That is an estimate, not a final audited total.

The reimbursement program is intended to restore eligible roadway revenue for local governments and transportation accounts, but the timing and amount of each later payment remain subject to the state’s reimbursement calculations and future Board of Finance approvals.

What happens next

• Drivers: The current suspension runs through Sept. 5, 2026, under Executive Order 26-20.
• Distributors and retailers: Department of Revenue filing, reporting and reconciliation rules remain in effect for the affected periods.
• Local governments: Additional reimbursement packages require State Board of Finance approval.
• Transportation funding: Other Motor Vehicle Highway and Local Road and Street revenue sources continue on their regular schedules, according to the comptroller’s office.
• Reimbursement deadline: The comptroller’s current target is to complete reimbursements by Nov. 1, subject to future approvals.

Drivers should watch for updated Department of Revenue guidance if another executive order changes the timeline. Local governments should monitor State Board of Finance actions for subsequent reimbursement approvals and distributions.

Currence took notes during the discussion and directed the concerns toward city staff, according to KY3 reporting. The immediate result was a record of issues residents wanted city officials to consider, not an announced change to city policy or a final decision on a project.

Residents raised service and growth questions

The topics covered both day-to-day city operations and longer-term questions about how Ozark is growing. Recycling was one subject residents brought forward, along with traffic and roads. New development was also discussed, putting growth-related concerns alongside questions about transportation and city services.

The August election came up during the conversation as well. The supplied report identifies the election as a subject residents asked about, but it does not provide ballot details, an election date, a result or a decision connected to the discussion.

That distinction matters for residents tracking possible changes in Ozark. A question raised at a public conversation is not the same as an adopted policy, approved development or funded road project. The report does not say that the city approved a new recycling program, authorized a specific road project or granted a development approval after the meeting.

What the meeting did — and did not — decide

The July 11 event functioned as a civic listening session. Currence’s role, as described in the report, was to hear the concerns, take notes and bring them to city staff. The meeting did not establish a final policy decision on recycling, roads, traffic or development.

The discussion therefore gives residents a public-accountability point for following up on issues that may shape future city decisions. It also provides city staff with the concerns gathered during the conversation, but the available reporting does not identify a specific staff recommendation or action that followed.

No response deadline was announced

The next known step is for city staff to receive and consider the concerns raised by residents. The source does not specify which proposals, if any, staff adopted, and it does not provide a deadline for a response.

For now, the July 11 conversation should be understood as an opportunity for Ozark residents to raise questions directly with their mayor. Any later road work, recycling change, development decision or election-related outcome would be a separate development from the listening session.

The project will add an eastbound U.S. 460 left-turn lane for motorists heading south onto Queen Street. VDOT says the work is intended to improve traffic safety and intersection operations. The agency’s project page, last updated May 28, 2026, lists the status as under construction.

What is changing

The improvement is focused on the eastbound U.S. 460 approach to Route 618. The added turn lane is intended for traffic turning left onto southbound Queen Street.

VDOT identifies the project as UPC 115413, with state identification numbers 0460-074-796, C501, P101 and R201. The agency lists an estimated total project cost of $3.47 million and a listed construction cost of $1.7 million.

Traffic should remain open during work

VDOT’s maintenance-of-traffic plan calls for at least one lane to remain open in each direction throughout construction. The agency also says access will be maintained for local businesses and residences.

For drivers, the practical effect may include lane shifts, work-zone activity and slower movements near the intersection, particularly for eastbound motorists preparing to turn onto Queen Street. Drivers should follow posted signs and any temporary traffic directions at the site.

Timing references point to 2026

VDOT’s project page lists an estimated start in winter 2026 and estimated completion in summer 2026. A Prince George County Board of Supervisors meeting on Feb. 10, 2026, included a VDOT update indicating that construction was expected to begin in spring 2026.

Those references describe estimated or expected timing, not a guaranteed public opening date. A September 2025 county VDOT report identified Branscome as the contractor and listed Aug. 7, 2026, as a fixed completion date. Because that document is older, the date should be treated as a contract or project-control milestone unless VDOT separately confirms that the completed lane is open to traffic.

A May 2026 PlanRVA transportation-planning record lists UPC 115413 as a safety project at Route 460 and Queen Street in Prince George County and gives 2026 as the anticipated opening year. That planning reference also does not establish that the lane was open on Aug. 5, 2026.

What residents should watch

Motorists turning from eastbound U.S. 460 toward southbound Queen Street should allow additional time and watch for changing lane markings. Nearby businesses and residents should monitor posted work-zone directions because access routes may be affected temporarily even though VDOT says local access will be maintained.

As of Aug. 5, 2026, the latest cited VDOT project listing identifies the work as under construction. It does not confirm that the new lane is complete or open. Drivers can check VDOT’s 511 traffic service for current alerts and changes.

The opening ended the main Forest Street construction closure and put a grade-separated crossing over the railroad tracks into public use. The broader roadway project is not fully finished: Brigham City says a later phase will extend American Way beneath the overpass and connect it to 950 West.

Traffic opening followed a separate ceremony

The July 31 traffic opening was different from the July 7 ribbon cutting. Brigham City described the earlier event as ceremonial, with parapet walls, lighting and other finishing details still remaining before vehicles could use the overpass.

The city’s June 26 project announcement anticipated a mid-July traffic opening after the ceremony and final preparations. That timeline was later superseded. On July 27, the city said the opening was delayed while crews completed finishing work on the south parapet wall. A July 30 notice then said barricades would be removed at 8:00 a.m. the following day.

What the opening changes

Forest Street users can now cross above the railroad tracks instead of using the former at-grade crossing on that route. The overpass provides a separate roadway path intended to avoid delays caused by trains crossing Forest Street.

The city has also cited emergency-response concerns in explaining the project. At the July 7 ceremony, city officials said trains had sometimes delayed or forced emergency vehicles to detour while responding to incidents. The available project information does not establish that the overpass will eliminate every railroad-related delay, but it documents the purpose of separating Forest Street traffic from the tracks.

For nearby residents, businesses and workers, the immediate practical change is the return of Forest Street access after a closure that began in January 2025. The city has not provided traffic-volume or travel-time estimates in the notices used for this report.

American Way connection remains pending

The bridge opening does not mean all surrounding work is complete. Brigham City says the next phase will extend American Way under the overpass and connect it to 950 West. That connection remains future work, so drivers should distinguish the currently open Forest Street overpass from the unfinished broader roadway network.

UDOT record identifies the project separately

The Utah Department of Transportation independently identifies the work as the Forest Street Parkway Extension in Brigham City, Box Elder County. UDOT’s project record is dated June 30, 2026, and lists the project as completed with 100% completion. Because that record predates the city’s July 31 public traffic opening, it verifies the project’s identity, location and earlier status rather than serving as proof of the later opening.

As of June 30, UDOT lists $500,000 in total project funding and $569,475 in total expenditures. Those are separate figures in the state record, which also lists a $370,884 construction contract amount. The available sources do not explain the difference between total funding and total expenditures.

Drivers can now use the Forest Street overpass over the railroad tracks. The American Way extension beneath the bridge and its connection to 950 West remain pending.

The planned project also includes pedestrian-access work in the village of Iola. WisDOT lists completion of the project design for August 2026, while construction is currently scheduled for 2027. A firm construction start date, duration and final traffic-control calendar have not been posted on the project page.

Roadway and drainage work

WisDOT says the existing pavement shows alligator, longitudinal and transverse cracking, along with rutting. The proposed work would mill the existing asphalt and place a new asphalt overlay across approximately 10.3 miles of WIS 161.

The project also calls for replacing eight existing cross-culvert pipes, removing one cattle pass and upgrading guardrails to current design standards.

Changes identified in Iola

Within Iola, WisDOT proposes reconstructing pedestrian curb ramps to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards. Sections of curb and gutter would also be replaced.

Temporary pedestrian curb ramps are planned during construction to maintain sidewalk access. WisDOT also says small temporary limited easements may be needed for sidewalk and curb-ramp construction, cattle-pass removal, guardrail replacement and related grading. The current project page does not identify affected parcels or property owners.

Most traffic expected to continue

WisDOT expects WIS 161 to remain open to traffic for most of the project. Drivers would move through temporary lane closures and flagging operations.

A short-term detour is anticipated while cross culverts are replaced and the cattle pass is removed. The proposed route would use US 10, WIS 22 and WIS 22/110. WisDOT says local access to businesses and residences will be maintained.

Drivers should generally expect controlled traffic and work-zone delays rather than a full-season highway closure. The timing and location of individual closures will depend on later construction planning.

Program estimate, not a final construction price

The February 2026 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program snapshot lists the project as 6260-00-72. The listing shows 10.34 miles for the project titled Iola to STH 22/110, with the limit description beginning at STH 49 southbound and extending to STH 110. It places the total improvement cost in the $4 million-to-$4.999 million range.

WisDOT says a total improvement cost can include past, current and future project phases, including work outside the four-year STIP cycle. The listing is therefore a program estimate, not confirmation that the project has been awarded or that all construction funding has been finalized.

Residents, commuters and businesses should watch for future WisDOT construction notices and check 511 Wisconsin before traveling through the WIS 161 work area in 2027.

Resolution No. 9463 was passed and adopted June 2, 2026, by a 5-0 vote among council members present. Council Members Johnstone and Webber were absent. The City of Oroville posted the resolution on June 18.

The list combines rehabilitation and maintenance projects with preliminary planning for a proposed roundabout and pedestrian and bicycle improvements. Adoption establishes the city’s intended project list for the estimated funding; it does not mean every listed improvement is ready for immediate construction or that the estimated amount is a final expenditure total.

Two new projects begin with design

One newly proposed project is the Acacia Roundabout. The resolution calls for a feasibility study and initial project engineering for a proposed roundabout at the five-way signalized intersection involving Orange Avenue, Acacia Avenue and Oro Dam Boulevard East.

The estimated design period runs from October 2026 through October 2027, depending on the component funded with RMRA money. The resolution lists a 20-year useful life for the improvement, but the project remains at the feasibility and engineering stage.

The second new project is the Lincoln Street/Boulevard Pedestrian Safety and Mobility Project. It covers Lincoln Street/Boulevard between Highway 162 and Myers Street. The first phase is preliminary engineering for a multi-use path, pedestrian crosswalks, lane-reduction feasibility and roundabout studies at the Wyandotte Avenue and Myers Street intersections.

The resolution lists design from October 2026 through October 2027 and a construction start in May 2028 for the component funded with RMRA money. That is an estimated schedule, not a guarantee that the path, crossings, lane changes or roundabouts will be built.

Road rehabilitation extends into 2027 and 2028

The resolution also relists six previously proposed and adopted roadway projects that may use fiscal-year 2026-27 RMRA revenues:

• 18th Street between Biggs and Grand: Dig-outs and light maintenance or sealing, with a listed start in May 2027 and completion in July 2027.
• Norton Street from Bridge Street to Montgomery Street: Heavy rehabilitation and drainage improvements, with work listed from August through November 2026.
• Nelson Avenue between Sixth Street and the city limits: Heavy rehabilitation, with design scheduled to start in winter 2026 and finish in summer 2027, followed by construction from spring through summer 2028.
• Oro Dam Boulevard East between Washington and Acacia: Heavy rehabilitation, with design scheduled to finish in fall 2026 and construction listed from spring through fall 2027.
• Georgia Pacific Way from Feather River Boulevard to Baggett-Marysville Road: Heavy pavement rehabilitation, with design scheduled to finish in fall 2026 and construction listed from spring through fall 2027.
• Oro-Quincy Highway between Foothill Boulevard and Sierra Monte Drive: Heavy rehabilitation involving milling and a thick overlay, with design listed from summer through winter 2026 and construction from spring through summer 2027.

The resolution says SB 1 funding will help maintain and rehabilitate eight streets or roads while adding active-transportation infrastructure. Its visible project list contains six relisted roadway entries and two newly proposed planning projects. The document’s “eight streets/roads” wording should not be read as a promise that all eight listed efforts will enter construction at once.

What residents should watch next

A May 28 agenda from the Butte County Association of Governments separately identified Oroville’s Lincoln corridor and Oro Dam Boulevard/Orange Avenue/Acacia Avenue concepts as candidates for preliminary engineering. The BCAG record described preliminary-engineering recommendations and said Oroville would need to pursue other state and federal funding sources for roundabout construction. It did not approve construction funding for either Oroville concept.

For residents, commuters and nearby businesses, the immediate result is a project list and accountability framework rather than an announced construction phase. The key checkpoints are the October 2026 design starts for the two new projects, late-2026 design milestones for several rehabilitation projects, and the construction windows listed for 2027 and 2028.

Actual construction will depend on design completion, approvals, project schedules and available funding. Resolution No. 9463 gives the public a way to track whether the city’s intended SB 1 work advances as described.

The Greensboro Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is seeking feedback on its Draft P8 Regional Impact Local Input Point Assignment for projects in the fiscal year 2028-2037 Transportation Improvement Program. The assignments remain proposed; they are not funding awards, construction approvals or guarantees that any project will be built.

What is open for comment

The draft concerns how the Greensboro MPO would distribute local input points among eligible Regional Impact projects under NCDOT‘s Prioritization 8.0 process.

Those points are one part of a longer evaluation used to determine which eligible transportation projects advance toward state funding consideration. NCDOT says local input points account for 30% of a Regional Impact project’s score. They do not, by themselves, determine whether a project will receive funding or reach construction.

The public notice specifically discusses regional roadway and rail projects. The MPO’s broader federally required planning responsibilities also cover highway, transit, bicycle, rail and pedestrian facilities.

Who is covered

The Greensboro MPO planning area includes the city of Greensboro, most of unincorporated Guilford County and the towns of Oak Ridge, Pleasant Garden, Sedalia, Stokesdale and Summerfield.

The comment opportunity is therefore relevant to residents, workers, businesses and others affected by transportation decisions across that planning area. People commenting should first review the draft assignment and identify the projects or proposed point allocations they are addressing.

How to submit comments

The MPO lists these ways to submit comments by the Aug. 5 deadline:

• Use the MPO’s online review and comment process.
• Email comments to guampo@greensboro-nc.gov.
• Mail comments to Greensboro Urban Area MPO, Attn: Lydia McIntyre, P.O. Box 3136, Greensboro, NC 27402-3136.

The MPO’s review materials include the draft P8 Regional Impact Local Input Point Assignment and information about the FY 2028-2037 TIP.

What happens next

The MPO’s Transportation Advisory Committee is scheduled to consider the draft assignment for adoption on Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026, at 2 p.m. The meeting is scheduled to be held online. The TAC is the MPO’s policy-making body and makes decisions involving transportation planning, infrastructure, services and public investment within the region.

Any action on Aug. 12 would still be part of the broader NCDOT prioritization and State Transportation Improvement Program process. NCDOT says the 2028-2037 STIP is developed through multiple funding categories and that a later comment period is expected when the draft STIP is released in early 2027.

The local assignments could influence how eligible projects perform in the Regional Impact competition, but they do not guarantee that a road or rail project will advance, receive money or reach construction.

Bottom line

For Greensboro-area residents who want to weigh in on local transportation priorities, Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026, is the immediate deadline. Comments can inform the MPO’s proposed distribution of local input points before the TAC considers the plan, but the assignments and eventual funding outcomes remain subject to later decisions.

The project is identified as INDOT DES 2401854 in Floyd County. It covers Slate Run Road from Lockwood Drive to Ekin Avenue.

What Phase II would build

An INDOT request for proposals posted February 9, 2026, describes approximately 4,425 feet of improvements. The work would begin at the south end of Phase I, approximately 500 feet south of Laib Drive, and continue south to the north side of Ekin Avenue.

The proposed work includes widening the existing road, adding a bike lane and concrete sidewalks on both sides, and installing concrete curb and gutter. The project description also calls for storm-sewer upgrades, utility relocations and modular-block retaining walls where necessary to minimize impacts to adjacent properties.

Phase II is part of a larger Slate Run Road improvement. The KIPDA/INDOT amendment says construction on Phase I was completed in 2021. That establishes the relationship between the phases; it does not mean Phase II construction is underway.

What the current records establish

INDOT’s updated rural project listing identifies right-of-way and construction phases for fiscal years 2027 and 2028. A fiscal year in a transportation program indicates when a phase is planned for programming and delivery within that record. It is not, by itself, a construction notice or a guaranteed calendar-year start date.

The current listing therefore shows that Phase II remains programmed, not that crews are working on Slate Run Road. The records reviewed do not provide residents with a confirmed construction start date, traffic-closure schedule or completion date.

The earlier KIPDA/INDOT amendment gives additional planning context. It lists preliminary engineering in fiscal year 2025, right-of-way phases in fiscal years 2027 and 2028, construction engineering and construction in fiscal year 2030, and an open-to-public date of 2031 in that planning record. Those entries are not a substitute for a later bid announcement, contract award or official construction schedule.

Why the cost figures differ

The February RFP listed an estimated construction amount of $5.23 million. The RFP was issued to solicit professional services for the preliminary-engineering and right-of-way phases, and its listed work categories included environmental-document preparation, acquisition project management, surveying, title searches, roadway design, appraisals, right-of-way plan development and construction inspection.

The RFP also set a response deadline of February 24, 2026, and its selection materials do not establish that a consultant was selected or that services were awarded. An RFP is a solicitation, not proof of a completed contract.

An earlier KIPDA/INDOT amendment used a broader estimated total project cost of $7.97 million. That record separately identified preliminary engineering, right-of-way, construction engineering and construction phases, including a $5.1 million programmed construction total in its listed funding breakdown.

The two figures should not be treated as competing final prices. The RFP’s $5.23 million is an estimated construction amount at one project stage, while the $7.97 million figure is a broader estimated project cost in an earlier programming amendment. Neither is a final approved construction budget or contract price.

What New Albany readers should watch

Future milestones would include consultant selection, design completion, right-of-way actions, environmental or permitting steps, bid advertisement and an official construction schedule. Until those records appear, the clearest conclusion is that Slate Run Road Phase II remains planned for the Lockwood Drive-to-Ekin Avenue corridor, with pedestrian, bicycle, roadway, drainage and utility improvements still represented in transportation-programming records.

Where and when the work is scheduled

The City of Cocoa’s closure notice says the lane restrictions began July 27 and are scheduled to continue through Sept. 25. Work is generally planned between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., weather permitting.

The city describes intermittent lane closures, not a full closure of North Range Road. Signage and traffic controls will be used to help vehicles move through the work area. The notice does not provide a delay estimate, detour route, contractor name, specific utility or daily closure pattern.

What drivers should expect

Drivers using North Range Road in the Lake Drive-to-Delys Street section should slow down, follow posted signs and obey traffic-control personnel or devices. Because the restrictions are intermittent and weather-dependent, the city has not said that work will occur every weekday or that the project will finish on Sept. 25 without schedule changes.

Questions about the North Range Road closure can be directed to the Brevard County Public Works Engineering Program at 321-637-5437, option 4.

Other Cocoa-area road work is separate

The North Range Road work is separate from utility-related lane closures on Broadcast Court. The City of Cocoa’s Broadcast Court notice covers June 17 through Aug. 25, with work generally scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. That notice also calls for signage and traffic control.

Drivers should also distinguish both utility projects from the Florida Department of Transportation’s Fiske Boulevard safety project. The FDOT Project 451310-1 record covers Fiske Boulevard, or State Road 519, from Barbara Jenkins Street to King Street, or State Road 520, in Cocoa.

The Fiske project is a separate construction-phase safety project. FDOT lists improvements including a shared-use path, a traffic separator, a pedestrian crossing and related roadway changes. From Aug. 3 through Aug. 7, FDOT scheduled daytime single-lane closures from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on King Street at Fiske Boulevard for traffic-detection loop work, along with lane closures on Fiske Boulevard’s bidirectional turn lanes from Barbara Jenkins Street to King Street for traffic-separator installation.

The City of Cocoa roadway-projects page separately says traffic on Fiske Boulevard at Stone Street will return to its normal configuration beginning Aug. 5, with the center turn lane between Barbara Jenkins Street and King Street temporarily closing. That work is expected to continue into early October but is subject to change.

Schedules for all three projects may change, so drivers should rely on current signs and traffic controls when traveling through the affected areas.

The award comes through Ohio’s FY2026 Roadwork Development Grant program and goes to the Port Authority of Allen County. The state record identifies the funded project location as the City of Lima in Allen County.

Corridor runs from Commerce to I-75

The project is identified as the McClain and Breese Corridor Improvements from Commerce to I-75. The corridor is relevant to Lima drivers, nearby businesses, freight movement and commercial access, but the available records do not guarantee shorter travel times, a specific traffic-safety result or a particular final lane configuration.

Those effects will depend on final design, right-of-way needs, construction decisions and traffic-control plans developed as the project advances.

Estimate is conceptual, not a final price

An Ohio project exhibit dated April 29, 2026, gives the broader project a conceptual estimate of $4,240,581. That amount is not a final bid or final construction price, and the records reviewed do not confirm that the entire estimate has been secured.

The estimate includes roadway construction, erosion-control and drainage work, pavement, signing and pavement markings, right-of-way acquisition and services, traffic maintenance, surveying, design, construction administration and inspection, as well as contingency and inflation. The $2 million state grant is the specifically approved funding identified in the Controlling Board record.

Related county work is separate

Allen County Commissioners’ legal notices list right-of-way appraisal-review and acquisition services for the separate Breese/Shawnee and Breese/Dixie intersection improvements. County minutes also show approval of professional engineering services for those intersections in Shawnee Township.

That activity shows implementation work on nearby Breese Road improvements, but it should not automatically be treated as the same project as the Commerce-to-I-75 corridor grant. The state grant record places the funded corridor project in Lima, while the related county records concern county and township service areas.

What residents and businesses should watch

For residents, commuters, freight operators and nearby businesses, the next useful signs will be additional design documents, right-of-way notices, bid advertisements, updated cost information, construction timing and announced lane restrictions.

The state approval is a concrete step toward the McClain and Breese improvements. However, the available records do not provide a confirmed construction completion date, final project cost, completed work or measurable traffic impact. Those details remain to be established as the project moves through design, right-of-way and procurement.

The action authorizes a borrowing mechanism. It does not establish that Centerville has already issued the full $4 million, that final financing terms have been set or that construction is complete.

What the ordinance authorizes

Ordinance 12-26 authorizes the city to issue no more than $4 million in notes in anticipation of longer-term bonds. The notes may mature no more than one year after issuance. Their final terms, including the interest rate, number, denominations and sale details, are to be set in a certificate of award.

The ordinance permits a note interest rate of no more than 5%. It also declares the city’s intent to issue bonds with an approximate interest rate of 5% and a maximum maturity of 25 years. Those provisions do not establish the final rate or repayment schedule. The ordinance’s separate maximum-maturity certificate states that notes issued in anticipation of the bonds may have a maximum maturity of 20 years.

The approved project scope includes Phase I road improvements, the Miami Valley Drive extension, water and sanitary sewer infrastructure, stormwater improvements and other related public infrastructure.

What it means for Centerville taxpayers

The notes would be limited-tax general obligations of the City of Centerville. The ordinance pledges the city’s full faith, credit and revenue for repayment. It also provides for an annual tax levy on taxable property if needed to pay debt service.

That provision does not mean a new property-tax increase has already been levied. The ordinance says the levy would not be collected to the extent debt service is appropriated and paid from other sources.

A project crossing city and township lines

Centerville’s Resolution 35-26, passed April 20, 2026, authorizes a cooperative agreement with Sugarcreek Township and Cornerstone Developers for the construction and maintenance of the Miami Valley Drive extension. The resolution describes Cornerstone South as property in Sugarcreek Township, Greene County, and identifies the extension as running from Wilmington Pike to Clyo Road. Portions of the public improvements lie outside Centerville’s corporate limits.

Under the cooperative agreement, Centerville is the lead agency for design, construction and maintenance. The city is responsible for activities such as design review, engineering, permitting, contracting and construction inspection, and would maintain and operate the extension after construction, subject to the agreement’s qualifications.

Sugarcreek Township’s responsibilities include cooperation on plans, land and right-of-way matters, and specified obligations for portions in unincorporated territory. The agreement generally says the township is not financially responsible for public-improvement costs beyond staff and related costs, while its exhibit assigns payment for certain unincorporated-area work, including specified curb, storm and catch-basin items and portions of resurfacing.

Cornerstone Developers is assigned construction under the construction-manager-at-risk agreement, along with specified maintenance obligations involving street medians, decorative lighting, sidewalks and landscaping or buffering along adjacent properties.

Next steps to watch

The July 27 council agenda separately listed a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute a construction-manager-at-risk agreement for Cornerstone South Phase I interior public improvements with Cornerstone Developers and Oberer Construction Managers. The agenda item is an authorization; it is not, by itself, proof that all work has begun or that the agreement’s final terms have been publicly completed.

Residents should distinguish that contracting authorization from the financing ordinance and watch for the actual note sale, the certificate of award, final contract documents, land or right-of-way actions and construction notices.

Centerville also passed Resolution 43-26 on June 15, 2026, declaring an intent to reimburse eligible Cornerstone South infrastructure expenditures through future obligations, with a maximum reimbursement borrowing amount of $13 million for expenditures made in fiscal years 2026 through 2029. That declaration is related financing context but is separate from the $4 million bond-anticipation-note authorization.

The most useful accountability checkpoints will be the city’s finance records, final financing terms, construction contracts, land and easement records, project notices and future debt-service information.

The Michigan Department of Transportation is carrying out a $5.1 million project covering just less than 10 miles of I-75 in both directions, from the I-75 Business Loop and South Otsego Avenue at Exit 279 in Gaylord to Exit 290 at Vanderbilt.

Second segment runs north of Gaylord

MDOT divided the work into two segments. The earlier segment, from Exit 279 to Exit 282 south of Gaylord, was scheduled for May 13 through June 2.

The current segment runs from Exit 282 north of Gaylord to Exit 290 near Vanderbilt. MDOT scheduled that work for July 7 through Aug. 21, 2026. The Aug. 21 date is an estimated or scheduled end date, not a guaranteed completion date.

One lane remains open each way

Drivers should expect single-lane closures and traffic shifts through the work zone. MDOT says one lane will remain open in each direction, so the project is not a full highway closure.

That reduced capacity matters for Gaylord-area commuters, truck and freight operators, emergency responders and businesses that rely on I-75 access. Travelers using the corridor should allow additional time and account for changing lane patterns, particularly during work periods and other busy travel times.

MDOT has not documented specific delay times, business losses or emergency-response impacts in the project announcement. The practical effect for local users is the need to plan around a narrower, shifted travel path north of Gaylord through the scheduled summer work period.

Resurfacing is intended to extend highway service life

The project includes pavement resurfacing, new rumble strips and new pavement markings. MDOT says the work is intended to extend the service life of the highway and improve safety.

The department’s economic modeling estimates that the investment will directly and indirectly support 43 jobs. That is a modeled project estimate, not a count of local hires or permanent Gaylord jobs.

Separate from planned interchange work

Gaylord City Council’s July 13 minutes list a $289,800 payment to the State of Michigan described as the “MDOT South Otsego Project.” The minutes do not establish that the payment funded or matched this I-75 resurfacing project.

The resurfacing also should not be confused with the separate I-75/M-32 interchange rebuilding and reconfiguration project in Gaylord. MDOT identifies that larger, $54 million project as scheduled to begin in fall 2026 and continue through fall 2028.

The proposed project covers approximately 1.25 miles of WIS 32 — North Lake Drive and West Brown Deer Road — from Dean Road to Mohawk Road in the Village of Bayside, Milwaukee County. WisDOT says construction could begin as early as 2028 if funding becomes available, but that earlier date is conditional, not confirmed.

What WisDOT is proposing

The primary roadway work would involve milling four inches of existing pavement and placing a four-inch asphalt overlay. A January 2024 WisDOT engineering solicitation described the pavement treatment as intended to extend the route’s service life.

The project also includes features beyond the driving surface. Existing pedestrian curb ramps would be upgraded to current standards. Along the east-west section, WisDOT proposes a concrete safety island between the roadway and the existing asphalt sidewalk to provide additional separation for people walking.

Curb-and-gutter work would be added where needed to address drainage issues. The 2024 solicitation also listed cleaning culvert pipes and endwalls, extending culvert pipes, updating pavement markings and signs, revising the North Lake Drive intersection median, and relocating rectangular rapid-flashing-beacon installations. Those items come from an engineering solicitation and should not be read as final construction commitments until later plans are approved.

Traffic plans are not final

WisDOT says traffic-staging options are still being evaluated. Lane closures, detours, access arrangements and construction phasing therefore have not been finalized in the current public project description.

Residents, businesses and commuters who use the corridor should wait for later WisDOT notices before relying on specific closure dates or detour information.

Why the timing remains preliminary

The current WisDOT project page lists construction for 2029, while allowing for a possible acceleration to 2028 if funding becomes available. The January 2024 engineering solicitation listed an anticipated completion date of March 1, 2029 and described the project as approximately 1.18 miles from north of Dean Road to west of Mohawk Road. That is a different planning measurement from the current public page’s approximately 1.25 miles, not necessarily a contradiction.

The solicitation is a design and engineering record, not a final construction commitment for every listed feature. It provides additional context about the drainage, median, beacon, marking and signing work being evaluated.

WisDOT’s 2024 ADA Transition Plan also lists the Bayside WIS 32 project for 2029, from east of Dean Road to north of Mohawk Road. The Village of Bayside’s public-works material has separately referenced longer-range planning for the State Highway 32 resurfacing during the 2027-2029 period.

WisDOT held a public involvement meeting at Bayside Village Hall on August 6, 2024, giving residents an opportunity to review project information and provide input. The project remains proposed, and its timing and final traffic impacts may change as funding, design and staging decisions advance.

For Bayside, the practical takeaway is that the proposed work is more than a future pavement overlay: it also addresses pedestrian access and separation, drainage and related roadway features. But under the current schedule, construction is not expected before 2029 unless funding allows WisDOT to move it to 2028.

The Michigan Department of Transportation lists Job 222248 for the City of Fremont in Newaygo County under its FY 2026 Small Urban Program. The record shows the project as Active and assigns it the CON phase code.

What the project includes

MDOT lists the project length at 0.717 miles. The planned work is to mill existing pavement and apply 1.5 inches of hot-mix asphalt resurfacing at various city locations.

MDOT estimates the total project cost at $515,000. The funding breakdown is $385,000 in federal funds and $130,000 in local funds. MDOT lists $0 in state funding and identifies Fremont as the responsible local agency.

City plan names Connie Avenue and Lake Drive

Fremont’s FY 2025-2044 capital-improvement project schedule also lists a $515,000 street-resurfacing project with a funding description of 75% State Small Urban and 25% major-street funding.

The city planning record identifies the intended limits as Connie Avenue from Main Street to Lakeview and Lake Drive from Connie Avenue to the lake-township line. Those limits provide more specific local context than MDOT’s broader description of “citywide” and “various locations.”

What it means locally

For drivers, nearby residents and businesses, the records point to planned pavement work on about seven-tenths of a mile of Fremont streets. If the project advances to field construction, work could affect travel near the identified street segments. The documents reviewed do not establish closures, detours, traffic-control measures or a construction duration.

“Programmed” and “Active” describe the project’s status in transportation-program and planning records. They do not, by themselves, show that resurfacing has started, that a contractor has been selected or that a specific construction date has been set.

Separate council asphalt item

A May 4, 2026, Fremont City Council packet included a separate asphalt-repair proposal. That item was not used to establish the schedule for MDOT Job 222248 and should not be treated as confirmation that the Small Urban project is underway.

Future city notices or MDOT updates would be needed to confirm implementation details, including the start date, contractor and traffic arrangements.

Gilich gave the update at a Biloxi Chamber of Commerce event, according to WLOX. His figure is the latest reported progress estimate, not an independently verified construction measurement. The year-end ribbon-cutting target and January traffic expectation are also not final completion, inspection or opening dates.

A new north-south connection

The project extends Popp’s Ferry Road south of Pass Road to U.S. 90. Project materials describe an approximately 1.5-mile, four-lane corridor in Biloxi.

The new route is intended to provide another connection between the Pass Road area and the U.S. 90 corridor. That could give Pass Road commuters and people traveling to the Mississippi Coast Coliseum area another route to consider, especially during busy periods. The available evidence does not establish a guaranteed travel-time reduction or show that the project will eliminate congestion.

Signals, rail crossing and Coliseum-area work

The documented scope includes signalized intersections, roadway lighting, sidewalks and a railroad crossing. Earlier construction reporting described water, sewer and storm-drain work, along with a retaining wall leading toward an underpass near Coast Coliseum property. The city’s 2026 State of the City presentation also described roadway lighting and traffic-signal work, drainage, a new railroad crossing, a signalized Beach Boulevard intersection and paving as part of the project’s progress and remaining work.

The available records do not support describing the railroad crossing as grade-separated. WLOX reported that the route will cross railroad tracks, while the city presentation referred to a new crossing and a retaining wall near the Coliseum parking area.

City records show related actions

The Biloxi City Council’s revised April 7, 2026, agenda listed several actions connected to the project and surrounding transportation network. The agenda included an MPO application for installation of a traffic signal at Motsie Road and Popp’s Ferry Road, authorization for an MDOT right-of-way use agreement, and a municipal budget amendment to reflect legal expenses connected with Capital Project No. 913, Popp’s Ferry Extension.

Those agenda items document related signal, right-of-way and administrative work. They do not establish that the route is ready for public traffic or that the project has received final opening authorization.

What drivers should watch next

The next milestones are the remaining roadway, drainage, signal, railroad-crossing and paving work; any traffic-control changes; and formal city or MDOT announcements about inspection and opening arrangements.

For now, Biloxi’s schedule remains a projected sequence: the mayor estimated construction at roughly three-quarters to four-fifths complete as of July 14, officials are targeting a ribbon cutting by the end of 2026, and traffic is expected to use the connection in January 2027. Future state-road designation has been discussed as a possible consequence of the new connection, but the available evidence does not show that designation has occurred.

The advertisement identifies the work as Utility Improvements for South Court Street, Contract 4-2026. Bids will be publicly downloaded and read aloud by teleconference after the deadline.

What the project includes

The advertised project would replace approximately 3,100 linear feet of existing 6-inch and 8-inch water main with an 8-inch ductile-iron main.

The scope also calls for valves, hydrants and related appurtenances; replacement of existing water services on private property; trench repair; and asphalt planing and overlay on South Court Street.

For South Court Street residents, property owners and businesses, the project could eventually mean work near private properties and roadway restoration. The bid advertisement does not identify individual addresses or state which property owners would have specific responsibilities for service-line work.

Funding and bidding requirements

The city says any contract awarded is expected to receive assistance from Ohio’s Water Supply Revolving Loan Account, or WSRLA. The procurement must comply with applicable state and federal requirements.

Those conditions include wage requirements tied to Ohio wage determinations and the federal Davis-Bacon and Related Acts. The advertisement also requires bidders to make positive efforts to use disadvantaged businesses, including small, minority-owned and women-owned businesses. Iron, steel, manufactured products and construction materials must comply with Build America, Buy America requirements.

The city reserves the right to reject bids, waive technicalities or accept a bid it considers advantageous. The contract is to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and submitted bids remain subject to acceptance for 110 days after the deadline.

What the state record shows

A draft Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Drinking Water Assistance Fund project list separately names Circleville’s Utility Improvements for South Court Street in Pickaway County. The list classifies the project as construction and shows an estimated loan amount of $1.766 million.

That state record is the draft Program Year 2026 plan dated June 9, 2025. It lists an estimated September 2025 award date, but that estimate predates the city’s July 2026 bid advertisement and does not establish a current award, contractor or construction schedule. The City of Circleville’s July 23 and July 30, 2026, advertisement is the controlling record for the current solicitation, scope and August 14 bid deadline.

What remains undecided

As of August 2, 2026, the project remains a bid solicitation rather than an awarded construction contract. The advertisement does not identify a contractor or final price. The records reviewed also do not establish a construction start date, work duration, traffic-control plan, road closures, water-service interruptions or property-specific notices.

Residents, businesses, pedestrians and motorists should watch for later notices from the City of Circleville and its Utilities Department after bids are opened and evaluated. This water-main project is separate from the South Court Street railroad grade-separation project.

Work began July 15

The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration announced on July 14 that crews would begin resurfacing MD 140 between I-695 and Crossroads Drive as soon as Wednesday, July 15. The project covers 1.2 miles of northbound and southbound roadway and is expected to continue through late October, weather permitting.

Crews are scheduled to work Sundays through Thursdays from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. The project includes pavement patching, milling, resurfacing and new pavement markings. SHA says motorists should allow extra travel time and expect single- and double-lane closures where necessary. The announcement did not call for a full road closure.

Two adjoining resurfacing phases

The July project adjoins a separate 1.6-mile MD 140 pavement project announced by SHA on April 2. That earlier section runs from Crossroads Drive and Village Queen Drive north toward Painters Mill Road, near the Wegmans shopping center.

The two notices describe adjoining phases along Reisterstown Road, not necessarily one formally combined project. SHA’s April notice said the earlier work was expected to finish by late June, weather permitting, but the records reviewed for this article do not independently confirm that the segment was completed.

WMAR-2 News reported in April that the earlier work covered a busy business corridor and used overnight single-lane closures to limit disruption to commuters and businesses. The July phase extends the announced resurfacing work south to I-695.

What it means for nighttime travel

The restrictions are most directly relevant to people traveling Reisterstown Road during the overnight work window, including night-shift employees, commercial drivers, delivery traffic and people accessing businesses along MD 140.

SHA identifies the current project’s contractor as Gray and Son Inc. of Timonium and lists its cost at $1.2 million. Those details apply to the July phase and should not be treated as the cost or contractor for the separate April project.

Motorists should follow posted signs, remain alert in the work zone and allow additional time when traveling between the Beltway and Crossroads Drive during construction hours. SHA said paving work would continue on the next possible weeknight if inclement weather prevents work.

Where to check conditions

The expected completion window is late October, but it is not a firm deadline. Drivers can check Maryland SHA project updates and the state’s CHART traffic page before traveling for current construction, lane-closure and traffic information. A specific closure location or nightly activity should be confirmed through a current traffic record before relying on it.

For Owings Mills travelers, the practical change is a recurring Sunday-through-Thursday work zone on another portion of MD 140, with overnight lane restrictions expected to remain in place through late October, weather permitting.

The closure is part of Connecticut Department of Transportation State Project 0040-0148, the replacement of Bridge No. 02698 over Dykas Brook. CTDOT identifies the bridge location as East Haddam, while project drawings identify Route 149 as East Haddam-Moodus Road. That designation explains the road’s relevance to Moodus-area travel without placing the bridge inside a specific Moodus village or census boundary.

Detour remains in effect until the scheduled date

CTDOT announced that the continuous Route 149 closure began Monday, April 20, 2026, and is scheduled to continue through Monday, Aug. 17. Traffic is being detoured through Johnsonville Road and Leesville Road, with signs directing motorists through the work zone.

The Aug. 17 date is a schedule, not a guarantee of a permanent reopening. CTDOT warns that weather delays or other unforeseen conditions could modify or extend the closure. Drivers should continue to follow posted signs and use caution in the work area until the agency confirms any change.

Bridge replacement continues after the closure

The scheduled end of the continuous closure does not mean the entire project is finished. CTDOT says overall completion is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026, subject to schedule changes.

The project includes demolition and replacement of Bridge No. 02698, new drainage structures and asphalt pavement. The state awarded the $2,558,885 contract to Dayton Construction. CTDOT says the project is administered through its Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 2 in Norwich.

For Moodus-area residents, commuters, workers and businesses, the immediate planning point is the scheduled Aug. 17 end of the continuous detour. Road work may still be active afterward as the remaining bridge, drainage and pavement work is completed.

Sources

• CTDOT bridge closure advisory
• CTDOT project site plan

According to VDOT‘s Salem District traffic alert, the closure is scheduled during weekday work hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The road is expected to remain open on weekends under the current schedule.

Detour uses Route 695 and Route 58

Drivers traveling through the affected section should follow the signed detour from Route 949, Spencer Penn Road, to Route 695, also identified as Spencer Penn Road. The detour then uses Route 58, or A.L. Philpott Highway, before returning to Route 949.

VDOT says message boards will be posted to alert drivers and guide traffic around the work area. The agency lists Friday, August 14, at 5 p.m. as the expected completion time, but the schedule is weather permitting and may change.

What Spencer-area travelers should plan for

For residents, commuters, deliveries and other through traffic in Spencer, the notice means avoiding the affected portion of Spencer Penn Road during the scheduled weekday closure hours and using the signed detour instead. VDOT describes the closure as applying to through traffic; its notice does not specify a separate local-access policy, so drivers should follow barricades, signs and instructions at the work site.

Spencer is an unincorporated community in Henry County, Virginia. The closure notice applies to a specific portion of Route 949, not to all roads in Spencer or to every resident’s access. VDOT does not provide an estimate of added travel time or broader effects on traffic, businesses or schools.

Check conditions before leaving

Drivers using Spencer Penn Road should allow time to follow the posted detour during weekday closure hours and should not assume the August 14 reopening date is guaranteed. VDOT advises motorists to watch message boards and check current traffic information before traveling, particularly if weather affects the work schedule.

The project is not identified as work inside Fayette city limits. MDOT describes the limits as MS 550 from MS 28 to the Lincoln County line.

What MDOT lists now

MDOT’s 2026-2028 Maintenance and Pavement Rehabilitation Program identifies Project 310032 on MS 550. The plan assigns the project to Federal Fiscal Year 2026, gives it a $900,000 cost estimate and describes the scope as an ultra-thin overlay.

MDOT’s Schedule of Proposed Projects lists the work under federal project number MP-3550-32(001) for August 2026. The page says the proposed-letting list was last updated August 1, 2026, and warns that it is subject to continuous revision, including moving projects to earlier or later months.

Why Fayette readers may care

Fayette, Mississippi, is the seat of Jefferson County. That makes a planned project on a Jefferson County state route relevant to residents, commuters, workers and businesses that use MS 550 for county or regional travel, even though the published termini do not establish that the project enters Fayette.

An ultra-thin overlay is a pavement-preservation treatment in MDOT’s listing. The record does not describe a full reconstruction, widening project or major route expansion. It also does not establish how the pavement will perform beyond the agency’s stated scope.

The listing changed from the prior plan

MDOT’s 2025-2027 plan listed the same general MS 550 limits as Project 109039. That earlier entry showed a $1.4 million estimate and described the work as an ordinary overlay.

The current plan uses Project 310032, a lower estimate and an ultra-thin-overlay description. The records support describing the current entry as a changed or reprogrammed listing, but they do not explain whether the change reflects a cancellation, award, engineering decision or another specific action.

What remains unknown

The proposed-letting record does not confirm a construction start date, contractor, final bid amount, completion date, work phases, lane closures, detours or traffic impacts. Those details would require later MDOT letting, award or construction notices.

This listing concerns a state route. Jefferson County’s Road Department separately identifies county roads and bridges as its responsibility, so county-road maintenance questions should not automatically be treated as questions about the MS 550 project.

For now, Fayette-area drivers can treat Project 310032 as planned work that may eventually affect travel on the Jefferson County section of MS 550—not as an active construction project with a confirmed schedule.

The procurement is the county’s 2026 CTC Local Road Resurfacing project, solicitation 43105-02-25/26. The county’s records show an intent-to-award date of July 2, 2026.

What the procurement record shows

The county’s online bids and solicitations system names Banks Construction Company as the intended awardee and lists the amount at $14,478,648.31. The underlying intent-to-award notice says Banks was the lowest most responsive and responsible bidder.

The amount applies to a Berkeley County resurfacing project, not exclusively to work inside Goose Creek. An intent to award is also not the same as proof that a final contract has been fully executed. The records reviewed establish the county’s stated procurement decision, but they do not show that every road on the county’s work schedule is funded through this project.

August work scheduled on Amy Drive

Berkeley County’s scheduled-roadwork page lists driveway paving on Amy Drive between Stephanie Drive and Mabaline Drive for Aug. 5-6, 2026.

The county lists TruLuck Roadway Services LLC as the contractor for that driveway work. Amy Drive is scheduled to remain open to traffic. Residents may need to allow about 15 minutes for access to freshly paved driveways, and county staff say they will work with residents to maintain access as much as possible.

North Pembroke work follows

North Pembroke Drive, between Monsarret Lane and South Pembroke Drive, is scheduled for milling and resurfacing Aug. 6-7, 2026.

The published work hours are 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The county lists Sanders Brothers Construction LLC as the contractor. Traffic control will be positioned at intersections and along the route, and the road is scheduled to remain open. Drivers should expect controlled traffic and possible delays rather than a full closure.

The county’s schedule is a plan, not a guarantee that work will occur exactly as listed. Its roadwork notices say weather and other conditions can shift construction timing.

What Goose Creek residents should know

The city of Goose Creek says responsibility for road repairs lies with the county or state rather than the city. Almost all streets and roads inside Goose Creek city limits are maintained by Berkeley County or the South Carolina Department of Transportation.

For the scheduled August work, drivers should allow extra time during daytime operations on North Pembroke Drive. Amy Drive residents should plan for possible brief access delays while driveways are paved, even though the road is scheduled to stay open.

Records do not establish a project connection

The county procurement listing and the scheduled-roadwork page provide two related pieces of public information: a countywide CTC resurfacing procurement and specific upcoming work in Goose Creek. The available documents do not establish that Amy Drive or North Pembroke Drive is included in the $14.48 million 2026 CTC project.

Residents can check Berkeley County’s scheduled-roadwork updates for changes to dates, traffic control or access instructions. Goose Creek’s road-repair guidance directs residents to Berkeley County or SCDOT depending on who owns the roadway. The city points residents to Berkeley County Roads and Bridges for county-road concerns and lists 843-719-4129 as the county contact number.

The city’s July-August-September 2026 issue of City Notes says Springboro has committed $1.88 million to the program. The work includes asphalt planing and resurfacing, along with removal and replacement of deteriorating curbs and gutters, sidewalks and driveway aprons.

20 streets are included

The streets listed by the city are Andover Drive, Bayberry Court, Bateman Court, Cinnamon Court, Commercial Way, East Manor Drive, East Waterbury Drive, Great Oak Drive, Jacamar Court, Juanita Court, Mill Run Lane, Millard Court, North Lakeshore Drive, Settlers Walk Boulevard, Springhouse Drive, Springwood Drive, South Lakeshore Drive, Village Drive, West Longmeadow Drive and West Waterbury Drive.

In its February 5 council record, the city said the 20-street work was planned mainly in Settlers Walk, Creekside and around Springwood Drive. That record does not say all 20 streets are being worked on at the same time.

Concrete work comes before paving

At its April 2, 2026, work session, the city reported that concrete curb and gutter replacement was underway and would be completed before paving began. That sequence means residents may see crews working on roadway edges and drainage-related concrete before new asphalt is placed.

On February 5, City Council approved a contract with John R. Jurgensen Company for the “2026 Street Resurfacing & Concrete Work” program. The company submitted the low bid of $1.896 million, compared with an engineer’s estimate of $2 million, and council approved the resolution by a 7-0 vote. The contract figure is separate from the $1.88 million commitment cited in the city’s later publication.

What residents and commuters should expect

People who live, work or travel along one of the listed streets should expect construction activity near homes and businesses during the 2026 paving season. Depending on the work area, access may be affected temporarily, and some properties may see sidewalk, curb or driveway-apron work in addition to asphalt resurfacing.

After completion, the program is expected to provide newly resurfaced pavement and address deteriorating concrete features along the streets. Drivers, pedestrians and delivery workers should allow extra time around active work areas and watch the city’s alerts for project-specific notices.

Schedule details are still limited

The reviewed city records do not provide a street-by-street construction schedule, completion date, lane-closure plan or detour map. They also do not establish that every listed street is currently under construction. Specific access changes and traffic controls will depend on later city notices for individual work areas.
