Mount Olive’s town manager said unexpected issues that have hampered or delayed needed projects will not stop work on the three-phase South Church Street sidewalk project.
Town Manager Jammie Royall said he is hopeful the first phase of the project can be completed no later than sometime in November.
A variety of unexpected issues — COVID issues, a health problem with the town attorney and a fire at town hall — have impacted planned work. But the town’s attorney should get a final easement document signed by a property owner soon to clear the way for work to begin, he said.
The first phase of the three year project calls for installing a sidewalk on the east side of South Church Street between Franklin and Nelson streets.
Easement issues will also be involved with the final two phases of the project.
The second phase calls for a sidewalk from Nelson north to Hillsboro Street.
The final part of the project calls for a sidewalk from Hillsboro west one block over to Center Street.
The plans came from a state Department of Transportation study done about five years ago.
Pedestrian traffic in the targeted area was tagged as a safety issue.
The work is funded through Powell Aid monies.
The town manager said it will take only several days for the work in the first phase to be completed once it begins.
