The work is part of an almost $5 million project to rebuild .72 miles of Broad Street from the ground up, creating a stronger driving surface that the DOT says will last decades. Enhancement work includes new sidewalks, curb and gutter, benches, lighting and landscaping. The scheduled completion date for the project is July 31, 2014.
