Repaving three streets to start within 30 days

Bessemer Councilman Albert Soles said today that the paving of three streets in downtown should begin within 30 days.

The streets to be paved are 18th, 19th and 20th, from Carolina Avenue to the Bessemer Super Highway.

Cost of the job is $1.3 million.

Soles said the next step is to bring in an outside individual to assess what other streets need to be paved and then consider floating a bond to pay for it.

I need to be in the paving business. 1.3 million for 27 blocks of paving? 50,000 per block.
