Covington road resurfacing begins this week

All or part of 29 streets in Covington will begin undergoing road resurfacing this week.

The project is part of a $927,540 contracted project with Riegler Blacktop, Inc., a Florence-based company that frequently contracts on municipal infrastructure projects throughout the NKY region. Riegler’s contract with Covington was finalized on Sept. 12.

“When it’s done, drivers will be a lot happier,” said Bill Matteoli, assistant director of Covington’s Public Works Department, in a recent press release. “We know there are a number of streets that need attention, and we tackle as many as possible each year.”

Riegler will grind away about an inch and a half of pavement before beginning resurfacing in earnest.

The following streets will be affected, listed in alphabetical order:

• Bush Street, from Scott Boulevard to Prospect Avenue.
• Clark Street, from Highway Avenue to Altamont Road.
• Coyote Court, from Indian Creek Drive to its western end.
