Paving Portion of Hamlet’s Starke Street Project Nearing Completion

Work continues on Starke Street in Hamlet. During Wednesday’s town council meeting, Council President Dave Kesvormas shared an update from project engineer Lee Nagai. “They’re hoping to be finished with the road portion of this by Friday,” Kesvormas explained. “That’s what they’re hoping for, but we may have a delay with rain. I don’t know what their deal is. But North Starke Street looks really good.” Kesvormas said he’s very happy with the paving work done by Walsh & Kelly.

Once that portion of the project wraps up, a new sidewalk will be installed along the west side of the street by Covenant Concrete. The project will rehabilitate the road from Plymouth Street north to U.S. 30.

It’s being funded, in part, by a grant through the state’s Community Crossings program.
