Bids Are Being Accepted Now for MacCorkle Avenue Project

State road officials said they are now accepting bids for a reconstruction and repaving project on a portion of MacCorkle Avenue in Kanawha City. The project will focus on putting down a new road surface, making the sidewalks ADA compliant and adding proper drainage from 33rd Street to 40th Street. The West Virginia Department of Transportation said it will be a completely new road surface that will be a lasting fix. Contractors will tear up MacCorkle Avenue all the way down to the ground before completely rebuilding the road from the ground up. The project is part of a larger plan to repave MacCorkle Avenue in the area from 33rd Street to 58th Street. Bids will be accepted until Oct. 19.
