Work to complete the Urbana Monument Square roundabout project will start today, according to a city official.

The nearly $1.8 million contract for the work was extended for completion by the end of May, but was delayed.

RB Jergens Contractors, Inc. and its subcontractors will restart construction work toward the completion of the remaining work items.

“Remaining work items on the project are as follows: repairs to the asphalt within the project area; permanent striping of roadway markings, parking lines and crosswalks; manhole adjustment; and water valve adjustment,” said City Engineer Tyler Bumbalough.

The contractor will post no parking signs within the planned work areas, and daytime road closures will be required.

In May, the contractor was able to complete milling of the existing asphalt surfaces and the pavement repair of deteriorated areas on South Main Street, Miami Street and within the parking areas of Monument Square, Bumbalough said.
