Contractor Named for Chapman Ave. Work
- Share via
The City Council has awarded a $292,000 contract to Hillcrest Contracting Inc. of Corona to make long-awaited improvements to Chapman Avenue between Placentia Avenue and Angelina Drive.
Officials said the company, which submitted the lowest bid, has extensive experience.
The project will include a pavement overlay, pavement reconstruction and replacement of curbs, gutters and sidewalks that were damaged by tree roots. Work is set to begin this month. Trees will be planted in the area once construction is completed in early May.
The city and the Orange County Transportation Authority will split the cost of the improvements.
Public Works Director Chris Becker said the project had been delayed since December 1994 by lack of funds after Orange County’s bankruptcy.
“We worked hard to keep our funding, and we’re pleased to finally implement the project,” Becker said.
