Shelbyville, IN – [July 23, 2024] – Street Commissioner Shane Peters is pleased to announce the commencement of Project CCMG Spring 2024-1, a significant infrastructure initiative aimed at improving accessibility and road conditions across Shelbyville, will begin July 24, 2024.
Funded by a Community Crossings Matching Grant (CCMG) from the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), this project underscores the city’s commitment to enhancing safety and mobility for all residents.
Phase One of the project will focus on upgrading key intersections with essential enhancements:
– Elliott & Franklin: Installation of 24’ curb & gutter
– Mechanic & Noble: Sidewalk improvements
– Noble & Jackson: Installation of 4 handicap ramps
– Progress & McKay: Installation of 1 handicap ramp
– Pike & Mechanic: Installation of 2 handicap ramps
– Knightstown & Morris: Sidewalk removal and curb installation
– Maple & Washington: Installation of 2 handicap ramps
– Jackson & Pike: Installation of 2 handicap ramps
Construction for Phase One will take place between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday. During this period, the City of Shelbyville assures residents that no roads will be closed. Instead, intersections under construction will have flaggers directing traffic, supplemented by optional detour and alternative route signage to ensure smooth traffic flow.
Additionally, the contract company awarded the project will distribute schedule fliers to adjacent residents prior to commencing work. To facilitate construction, a 50-foot buffer alongside the project areas will be designated to prevent parking and potential vehicular damage.
Commissioner Peters emphasized, “This project marks a significant step forward in enhancing accessibility and infrastructure within our city. The improvements funded by the CCMG grant will benefit our community for years to come.”
Phase Two of Project CCMG (Spring 2024-2) will follow Phase One, beginning Spring 2025. This will continue the installation of handicap ramps on our city intersections and include milling and paving additional roads in Shelbyville. Detailed updates and progress reports will be shared with the public throughout the project’s duration.
