The City of Vienna has taken a significant step towards improving its infrastructure by approving a concrete replacement proposal from Smith Concrete during the council meeting on July 18, 2025. The council unanimously accepted the bid, which includes a price of $149 per cubic yard for backfill and $180 per cubic yard for Class B concrete. This decision is expected to enhance the city's road repair efforts and is funded through the city's general fund.
The budget for paving and concrete work is set at approximately $900,000, with plans to allocate $502,000 specifically for the proposed projects highlighted in a color-coded map presented by Public Works Director Craig. The map outlines various road repair options, allowing council members to assess and modify the proposed projects based on community needs.
Craig emphasized the importance of addressing structural issues in the roads, noting that the current budget may not cover all necessary repairs, which are estimated to total around $1.2 million. He indicated that if weather conditions permit, he may return to the council to request additional funding to complete more projects.
The meeting also addressed concerns about drainage issues in certain areas, clarifying that while the current plan focuses on structural repairs, adjustments can be made to improve water flow where necessary. The council's proactive approach aims to ensure that Vienna's roads remain safe and accessible for residents, with further discussions anticipated as the projects progress.
