Madison to begin Main Street reconstruction after NDOT/CCMG award; All Star Paving contract awarded
Summary
Madison will begin phased reconstruction of Main Street in 2025 after securing a $1.5 million CCMG award from NDOT and additional federal highway-safety grants, officials said; the CCMG contract was awarded to All Star Paving.
Madison staff and the Commission said plans to begin Main Street reconstruction moved forward after the city received state CCMG funding and additional federal grants that will fund safety and intersection upgrades. Finance Director Mindy McGee told the Commission, “We were awarded 1 and a half million dollars from NDOT,” to support the project.
The presentation said two federal grants complement the CCMG award, together funding work on Main Street from the top of the hill through the Incline Bridge and to Mill Street. The Commission heard that All Star Paving was awarded the CCMG contract and that the project will be executed in multiple phases through 2027. Staff said the initial 2025 phase will resurface and reconstruct the segment from Broadway to Mill Street so the city can begin visible work rather than waiting for later federal allocations.
Why it matters: the Main Street corridor is a multi-year, multi-phase reconstruction and resurfacing effort that the city and partners have planned since 2020. Staff said the project will include intersection improvements, traffic calming, replacement or filling of historic fire cisterns beneath the roadway where needed, and upgrades to pedestrian signals and crosswalks aimed at improving safety.
Funding and timeline details presented to the Commission included use of a general obligation bond issued in December to provide the city’s matching funds, the CCMG award for roughly $1.5 million from NDOT, and additional federal highway-safety grants for intersection signal upgrades, audible crosswalk signals and repainting of crosswalks at key intersections such as Main & West and Main & Mulberry. Staff said the entire corridor beyond the initial phases could cost roughly $10,000,000 to complete and that the work will be disruptive but intended to improve safety and walkability.
Discussion versus decision: the Commission received the briefing and acknowledged the award and the contract; earlier actions to issue a general obligation bond provided match funding. Staff said the work will proceed in phases and the city will continue to seek additional funds for remaining segments.
Commissioners were told the Main Street project has been under planning and design for several years, with a steering committee formed in 2020, and that the city intends to coordinate phasing to limit disruption while delivering safety improvements.
