American Asphalt won the contract for the project, which will consist of resurfacing the asphalt pavement, culvert replacement, cattle pass installation, and reconstructing the sidewalk curb ramps between State Hwys. J and 49.

Work is scheduled to begin Sept. 5, and is scheduled for completion by November, depending on weather.
