The City of Negaunee is announcing its 2021 street maintenance projects. According to City Manager Nate Heffron, this years’ projects will be smaller than normal. Heffron reports that the City Council will soon be reviewing a major water and sewer project that is slated to begin next year. This project will result in water and sewer main replacements, sidewalk upgrades, and multiple streets being paved.
“We want to wait before we begin any major projects until we determine what finances will be needed to help pay for the proposed of water/sewer project, which includes 5.21 miles of street surface paving, Heffron said”
Heffron reports that 6.7 miles of crack sealing will take place this week, possibly through next week.
