Alger Road Culvert To Get Upgrade
March 28, 2011
A problem culvert on Alger Road will cost the Town of Century $80,843 to repair.
According to Dale Long, the town’s engineer, sand is washing away over time, requiring a repair. To completely remove and replace the culvert would cost an estimated $130,000, but the $80,843 repair will include a fiberglass lining for the existing pipes under the roadway.
The contract will be awarded to Pensacola Concrete Construction company. The town received one other proposal on the project for $155,325.
The fiberglass liner will be a permanent repair, according to mayor Freddie McCall. “This is not a Band Aid,” he said.
The drainage culvert is located on Alger Road about 350 feet west of North Century Boulevard.
