Kettering offers construction updates

Kettering officials offered summer construction season updates:

Wilmington Pike Improvements

The asphalt pavement on Wilmington Pike is being resurfaced from Stroop Road south to the corporation limit with Centerville. This work is scheduled for early September.

In addition to resurfacing, the project includes construction of a sidewalk on the west side from David Road to Woodman Drive. Pedestrians and bicyclists will be pleased not having to traverse the worn dirt path, especially in poor weather. Kettering was awarded over $900,000 in federal funds for this project.

Traffic Signal Replacements – Phase 2

Kettering was awarded nearly $1,200,000 in federal funds to reconstruct traffic signals at six intersections. The project will take up to a year and a half. Locations

include:

1) East Dorothy Lane at Powhattan Place

2) East Dorothy Lane at Valleywood Drive

3) Woodman Drive at Adventure Drive

4) Woodman Drive at Aragon Avenue

5) Woodman Drive at Forrer Boulevard

6) Forrer Boulevard at Culver Avenue

Vectren Gas Main Replacements

Vectren planned five gas main replacement projects in Kettering this year. Because the work involves restoration of pavement and yards, Kettering requires Vectren’s contractor to obtain permits for each location of work in the right-of-way.
