Work to replace an aging drainage pipe under Farm to Market Road 728 in Marion County is scheduled to get underway in April, weather permitting. The deteriorating pipe has led to steep drop-offs along FM 728 near the community of Berea.
“R & G Construction, LLC will remove the old pipe and replace it with a box culvert,” said Marshall Assistant Area Engineer Jacob Vise. ““We were able to get a change order to a contract for a safety project they were already working on in this area.” The amount of the change order is $85,000.
“Once the contractor has installed the box culvert, they will resurface the portion of the road that had to be excavated,” Vise said.
Work is expected to take about three weeks to complete.
