COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Bartholomew County Commissioners met Monday morning and took under advisement bids for extending the sidewalk along Carr Hill Road. The walkway is to be lengthened just over 600 feet, from the present stop point to just past Mutz Drive.
The bids were all over the place. Case Construction asked for $438,790, Globe Asphalt Paving bid $191,421, Best Excavating delivered an asking price of $276,029, Milestone Contractors bid $285,000, and All Star Paving requested $271,422.78.
The work will also involve some road widening and overlay. The Indiana Department of Transportation will be coming the other way on Carr Hill Road from its overpass project, and the county highway department anticipates an eventual tying together of both efforts.
