Two Area Road Projects Under Way in Carey District
Two road projects in the Carey district proceed this week, led by a Wien county State Highway Department maintenance crew. On the Columbia- Louisville road, widening and resurfacing work will extend one-quarter mile beyond the old blacktop and widen approaches on both sides. The plan calls for curing rock base and a new top surface, with completion of base placement in two weeks and paving to follow after final grading. The project begins in Columbus at Brokenstray Creek and runs eastward toward Pievittill Hill. Additional work on West Spring Creek road, from West Spring Creek to Pievittill Hill, aims to stabilize base and pave with blacktop, though funding delays may push final paving into the summer.
