The rehabilitation of Revere Road in Clinton has been looked forward to by residents for years and this is finally the year it gets needed attention.

Following the Thursday night DeWitt County Board meeting, DeWitt County Highway Engineer Mark Mathon told Regional Radio the project is in the second phase as it closes in on completion.

It took a couple of summer cycles to get here but the road should be greatly improved. For those wondering, the railroad is in charge of the crossing near the Route 10 intersection.

Mathon reminds that roughly 80 percent of this project was funded by the federal government. The total cost is roughly $ 4 million.

According to Mathon, the new surface could provide the County with 25-plus good years of road surface.

What's the next big project? Mathon indicates Washington Street bridge just east of Clinton will begin the early stages of improvement later this summerr.
