Silver City -- Motorists traveling north on Little Walnut Road patiently waited for the green light as improvements to this major roadway continue. Phase four of this multi-year street improvement project is scheduled to be completed in mid-February, on schedule, said Peter Peña, director of Silver City's Public Works Department. This phase began just north of Chavez Lane and will end just south of Jack Frost Drive, and includes approximately 1/2 mile of paving, new curb and gutter, ADA-compliant sidewalks on the west side of the street, bike lanes and new box culverts at Cottonwood Creek for improved drainage and safety. A temporary road will be built for the box culvert construction portion of the project, which is now underway.
This $3.6 million portion of Little Walnut improvements was funded by Colonias Infrastructure monies as well as funding from the state Department of Transportation.
