(COLUMBIA, MO) ~ Columbia, MO - Double Arch Construction LLC, the contractor for the City of Columbia Public Works department, is set to begin work on the Greek Town sidewalk improvement project on Wednesday, May 22.

These closures will occur on Curtis Avenue, Tiger Avenue, Richmond Avenue, Burnam Avenue, Rollins Street and Kentucky Boulevard.

The total cost of construction is estimated to be $180,000 and will be shared equally between the University and the City. The City's funding contributions come from the Capital Improvement Sales Tax.

The construction is expected to be completed by Friday, August 2nd. This improvement project will not only benefit pedestrians but also enhance traffic flow in Greek Town.
