Pre-construction work ahead of the paving project on 700 East in Starke County will be starting this week.
Highway Superintendent Dan Dipert told the Starke County Commissioners last week that two culverts need to be replaced prior to Rieth-Riley Construction Company’s arrival on June 1 to pave 700 East from State Road 8 to 625 South.
He added that there may be times when that road is closed for certain aspects of the work and other times it may be down to one lane.
Starke County received Community Crossings Matching grant funds for this project in the amount of about $682,000.
Meanwhile, Dipert said advertisements will be going out soon for the repaving of Range Road from 300 South to 250 North.
