Chesterfield to repair Plum Street bridge
CHESTERFIELD — Traffic along Plum Street will be restricted for about two months as a long-awaited project to repair a bridge gets underway. E&B Paving, an Anderson-based contractor, will be repairing and repaving the bridge on Plum Street leading to Ind. 32. Cost estimates were not available Wednesday, but Town Council President Ed Leonard said the project would be paid for with a Community Crossings grant. Leonard said the town received the grant some time ago, but held on to the funds during the planning stages. Planning, Leonard said, is the reason for the project's years-long delay. Town officials had several regulatory hoops to jump through with engineering and legal matters. The latter was the most difficult. Leonard said he and other officials were surprised to learn that the biggest hurdles coincided with the bridge's size. Leonard said town officials were informed that if the planned bridge was smaller, construction could have started earlier.

Anderson gets bids for repaving work
ANDERSON — The Anderson Board of Public Works has taken under advisement bids for three paving projects this year. The board Tuesday received four bids for contract paving this year with an estimate by City Engineer Matt House of $536,419. DC Construction submitted the low bid of $562,692 with a bid by Howard Companies of $637,311, a bid of $722,181 from E&B Paving and a bid of $779,070 from Rudig Paving. DC Construction was the low bidder on the city's 2025 Community Crossings matching grant fund for paving. Howard Companies bid $2,989,488, and E&B Paving bid $3,872,766. House's estimate for the work was $3,028,000. Anderson received $1.5 million from the state and will provide matching funds. Anderson Mayor Thomas Broderick Jr. previously said funds received by the city will be used as part of a planned $5 million paving program in 2025. Broderick noted that Anderson has received $10 million since the program was implemented by the state in 2016. 'This is great news for Anderson,' he said. 'This early grant notification will allow us to hit the ground running this spring and summer.' The estimate for concrete paving work is $321,287. Boerner's Cutting Edge submitted the low bid of $300,484, followed by bids of $303,594 by DC Construction; $370,310 from Edward & Jones Concrete; Concrete Specialties bid $331,199 and Howard Company's bid was $825,544. OTHER BUSINESS The board approved a resolution transferring property owned by the Anderson Community Development Department to Aspire Indiana. The property at 718 W. 17th St. will be used for transitional housing. Aspire Indiana was granted $900,000 in American Rescue Plan funding by Anderson to address the city's homeless population needs. The board also approved the transfer of 2122 Fletcher St., a vacant property, to Pathstone for the construction of a third single family residence in the area.
