As we get ready for a new year, 7th District State Representative Rusty Black says there are several road and bridge projects that are set to begin over the next two years. He says for the 2022 projects, with the exception of the “Safety Improvements” on Highway 6, the projects are already under contract. These are called STRIP and FARM Projects.
- To be built in 2022.
- Grundy/Sullivan 6 – scrub seal from Trenton to 5 south of Milan and from 5 north of Milan to Green Castle
- Grundy 6 – safety improvement – left turn lanes on 6 west of Trenton at W and 30th Ave.
- Grundy 65 – low slump bridge over 6 (new wearing surface to extend life of structure)
- Livingston 36 – low slump bridge over Blackwell Creek, 1.2 miles east of 65 (new wearing surface to extend life of structure)
- Livingston 36 – resurface eastbound lanes from route C to Parsons Creek (near Meadville) and westbound lanes from Coon Creek (west of 65) to Parsons Creek.
