Work is continuing on four intersections south of downtown Fayette along Highway 240. The work is the initial stage of street improvements that will focus on concrete repairs at intersections along Church Street, including by the Casey’s General Store parking lot, the approach on the east side of Highway 240 across from O’Reilly’s Auto Parts, and those near C&R Market, and beside the carwash (above). The next two phases address repaving portions of Morrison, Davis, Spring, and Lucky streets, as well as the downtown square. Don Schneiders Excavating was awarded the project with a low bid of $949,471.58. Additional estimates that could require more extensive work around the square to remove old parking lines raise the total bid to $1,071,576.36, if necessary.
