This funding was made available after an application process where
projects from across the state were evaluated. The project was
selected because this portion of Fifth Street Road has experienced
several fatal and incapacitating injuries in the past five years.
Removal of the concrete headwalls will improve the safety of the
roadway. Although funding is not yet available for the overall
reconstruction of Fifth Street Road, these funds will be used to
address specific safety issues along the roadway.
The highway department will continue to focus on improving road
safety. By applying for state and federal programs, we hope to
improve our roadways with a minimal cost to local taxpayers.
