CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Repaving work on Madison Street, which was originally scheduled to begin Aug. 1, has been delayed.
TN Department of Transportation (TDOT) spokeswoman Kathryn Schulte said the work is scheduled to start sometime after Sep. 1. The contract completion date is Oct. 31.
The project will resurface 4.4 miles of the key Clarksville thoroughfare from Richview Road to University Avenue. Paving work will be done at night, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday through Thursday except on holidays, to maximize productivity and reduce hazards and delays for daytime commuters.
TDOT awarded the $1,428,765 contract for the work to Jones Brothers Contractors LLC, of Mount Juliet, Tenn., a large road-building and paving firm that operates throughout the Southeast.
The Clarksville Street Department also announced that the stretch of Madison Street between 10th Street and Pageant Lane will remain in its current configuration, with arrows and a multidirectional middle lane that heads west in the morning and east in the afternoon.
The work will also smooth out imperfections in the road created by the replacement of water pipes under the pavement.
