The City of Greencastle announced Friday, October 14, that it will be completing several street improvement projects around the community.
The Board of Public Works and Safety awarded a $480,419.60 contract to Milestone Contractors South, LLC to complete the work.
Weather permitting, work will begin on October 24 with an anticipated completion date of November 11. The schedule may have to be adjusted depending on weather or other conditions. The contract calls for work to be completed by November 30.
The improvements include:
Cameron Drive – Arlington Street to Linwood Drive
Some full depth patching, curb replacement work, mill and overlay
Brentfield Lane – Evensview Drive to dead end
Full depth pavement replacement, curb replacement work, and storm sewer work
Brentfield Court – Brentfield Lane to cul-de-sac
Some full depth patching, mill and overlay
Linwood Drive – Shadowlawn to school entrance
Some full depth patching, mill and overlay
Jacob Street – Rockville Road to RR crossing
Some full depth patching, mill and overlay
Gillespie Street – Liberty Street to Jacob Street
Some full depth patching, mill and overlay
Rockville Road – City limits to Jacob Street
Some full depth patching, mill and overlay
Locust Street – Hanna Street to Howard Street

Milestone will maintain traffic and access during the work. During repaving, access may be limited while the asphalt cures. Adjoining residents are asked not to park on the street during the construction period.
Milestone also may use a full street width paving technique on some of the narrow street segments. This results in a better product with no joint in the center of the road. Using this full width paving technique will result in short term street closures.
Every other year, the City of Greencastle updates its pavement managemecouncil has budgeted additional funds for street improvement projects.
“We appreciate the teamwork and planning that supports these projects,” said Mayor Bill Dory. “Our Public Works and Engineering team help select the candidates for improvement while our city council and clerk-treasurer ensure the funding is in place to pay for the projects. We also recognize that these street improvements can be disruptive for nearby residents, and we appreciate their patience throughout this process.”
Other upcoming street projects include Locust Street from Seminary to Franklin and US 231 from SR 240 to Frazier Street. INDOT has recently awarded contracts for these two projects and more information on the schedule will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks.
