City officials, including Mayor Jim Gray and 9th District Councilmember Jay McChord, announced the end to major construction to the first section of the Clays Mill Road widening project on Tuesday.
The first phase of the work, between Keithshire Way and Higbee Mill Road, cost approximately $3.9 million and included new curbs and gutters, sidewalks, bike lanes and storm sewers, as well as landscaping features and a limestone retaining wall. Contractors are putting the finishing touches on landscaping and a few minor issues, according to a press release.
“The improvements along Clays Mill Road will one day improve traffic flow and, just as importantly, retain the character of the wonderful neighborhoods found all along the road,” Gray said at a press conference.
