🚧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞: 𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐊𝐚𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐰𝐚𝐲 & 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 🚧
Earlier this year, we announced plans to improve several streets throughout all districts, two of these streets named were Old Kaplan Highway and Washington Street.
As part of the planning process, the City recently had a contractor perform camera inspections of both the sewer and stormwater systems along these roadways. These inspections allow us to identify any underground issues that may need to be addressed before resurfacing begins.
While road improvements are often associated with what happens on the surface, some of the most important work takes place underground. Addressing potential utility issues before paving helps protect taxpayer investments and reduces the likelihood of having to cut into newly resurfaced roads for future repairs.
This same process was used during the Downtown street improvement project and has become an important step in ensuring long-term success for roadway improvements.
Many of Abbeville's streets and utility systems have served the community for decades. While some issues may not be visible from the surface, camera inspections help identify concerns before they become larger and more costly problems.
We appreciate your patience as these projects move forward and will continue providing updates as work progresses.
