The prime contractor on the Highway 5 and 2 intersection makeover, Sternquist Construction out of Indianola, is scheduled to pave the southwest street quadrant beginning on Monday.
Once the last remaining street quadrant is poured, Kyle Hardin, construction tech supervisor with Chariton Construction, said the project would be nearly finished.
"That means it's getting to be real close," Hardin said by telephone Thursday morning. "I would say probably, maybe a month's worth of work still left if the weather cooperates."
Besides Sternquist, subcontractors Dickinson Company out of Oskaloosa is currently working on the footings for light poles and handholes for traffic signals and Cole Construction out of Keosauqua is placing special backfill in the south west quadrant and they will be placing storm water intake tops.
Other items to be addressed before the project is officially finished include sidewalks, sodding and repainting lane markers. Once finished, the intersection will be bigger and feature a center left-hand turn lane in all four directions. And both highways will keep a three lane configuration through the city of Centerville until they reach head-to-head traffic toward the city limits.
Hardin said the project was running right on budget, which had been estimated to cost $765,000.
