Street Department Begins Fall Overlay Projects

BY MELANIE BUCK –

Mena’s annual fall street overlay project began last week and the City’s Street Department has a big schedule ahead of them. The project is projected to use more than 3,132 tons of asphalt, just under 2014’s 3,830 tons used. The cost is expected to be around $332,000 to provide overlay in the following areas: Blake Street, Lakeside Drive, Miller Avenue, Pine Avenue, Prairie Creek Road, Oaklawn Drive, Oak Grove Avenue, Smith Avenue, South Mena Street, Wimberly Street, 8^th Street, 9^th Street, 11^th Street, and Dogwood Drive.

Not all of the streets listed will see the entire street overlaid with new asphalt, only portions of some of the streets.
