THOMASVILLE —
Construction work has begun for the Madison Street Transportation Enhancement project. Construction for the TE project will last through 2012 and will be completed in several phases.
Citizens should be aware that as this project progresses, detours and lane shifts and closures will take place. This may slow through-traffic or re-route it completely, so citizens are advised to expect delays when traveling through the TE project area.
The TE project will revitalize Madison Street, from Jefferson Street to Remington Avenue; and one block of Jackson Street, between Broad Street and Madison Street. The project includes sidewalk enhancements which will mirror those on Broad Street, including trees and benches, and will allow existing aerial utilities — electric, cable and telephone lines — to be moved underground. Asphalt will also be removed from a one-block section of Jackson Street, which will expose the underlying historic brick pavers.
The TE project — which is designed to tie the Madison Street area with Broad Street — will be funded by two separate Transportation Enhancement grants equaling $1 million. The TE grants will be administered by the local Department of Transportation. In addition to the TE grants, the city will fund a 20 percent required match as well as the cost of utilities improvements.
For more information about the TE project, call 229-227-7001.
