Silt
fences, orange and white barrels and surveying crews are this week’s signs that
Franklin Street between Wait Avenue (N.C. 98) and the East Holding Avenue is a
construction zone.
During
the next 15 months, Narron Construction will build two roundabouts, center
medians and sidewalks as part of the town’s Renaissance Plan. All the utilities
will go underground.
Narron
was the low bidder for construction at $3.08 million. The entire project
including landscaping – which will be bid near the end of construction –
design, engineering, lighting, land acquisition and construction oversight is
estimated at $5.2 million, which will come from the $9.5 million in street and
sidewalk bonds the town voters approved in the spring of 2005.
