Significant Investment within Greenville with 2019 Capital Projects

The Town of Greenville has been busy this construction season investing in the community through a variety of capital improvement projects.  Some projects are just kicking off, while others are nearing completion.  Here is a summary of a few notable projects this past construction season.

Julius Drive (Spring Road to School Road)
This project included the full reconstruction of road base, asphalt bituminous pavement, the widening of travel lanes, a five-foot paved pedestrian/bicycle lane and improved cross slopes for roadside ditches.

The project is expected to be completed by mid-September.  Paving of the road surface will begin on Friday, August 23rd.  Shouldering and final restoration will be completed in the two weeks following paving operations.

Spring Road (Manley Road to North Road)

This project included full reclamation of the pavement and road base, asphalt bituminous pavement and dredging of some roadside ditches to improve ditch capacity.

The project is expected to be completed with center-line striping the week of August 26th.

Design Drive (Technical Drive to Tower View Drive)

This project included the full reclamation of road pavement, the road was reshaped to establish a proper crown and then paved with two 12-foot travel lanes and a 2-foot shoulder.  Curbed radii were installed at the intersection of Technical Drive.

Pebble Ridge Park Trail Paving

The pedestrian trail connecting Pebble Ridge Road to Design Drive through Pebble Ridge Park was paved.  This will provide additional multi-modal transportation options to the residents between Hidden Estates and Pebble Ridge Estates subdivisions.

Final restoration, including shouldering and ramps will be installed over the next few weeks.

CTH CB Trail

The Town of Greenville was awarded a federally funded Transportation Alternatives Program grant to construct a multi-modal trail along County Trunk Highway CB from State Trunk Highway 96 to Levi Drive in the Town of Greenville.

The project is slated to began on August 19, 2019 and is planned to conclude by mid October 2019.   Occasional, minimal traffic impacts will occur during construction, including temporary lane closures.

Lions Park Improvements

The Greenville Lions Club have been working toward completing sports courts at Lions Park.  Recently they poured the concrete pads for the courts and installed the light pole bases this past year.  As funding becomes available, completion of additional improvements will occur.  Planned improvements include two basketball courts, two tennis courts, a skate park, sand volleyball, an additional play structure, park pavilion and paved parking.

In addition to the added improvements by the Lions Club.  Greenville Civic Club has been assisting the Town in making improvements to the archery range at Lions Park.  The Civic Club is constructing additional covered shooting ranges.  The canopies are expected to be completed this fall 2019.

Well #5

The Town Sanitary District has been working on the completion of Well #5.  This additional well will provide an additional resource to support the water needs of our growing community.

Well #5 is expected to become operational by the end of October 2019.
