To significantly improve the condition of the roadway by removing the existing deteriorated pavement and replacing it with a new structurally sound pavement.  A portion of the project includes storm sewer that will reduce the frequency of surcharging of the combined sewer system.

Description


This project consists of the reconstruction of Astor Court from Summit Avenue to Myrtle Avenue, Myrtle Avenue from Park to Highland, and Euclid Avenue from Kenilworth to Highland, and includes storm sewer construction.  Some selective water system and sanitary sewer system improvements are also included.
