GO Bond Funding

$9.3 million Grissom Road Reconstruction Project Sheet (PDF)

Scope of Work

This project replaces approximately 5,600 feet of an existing two-lane rural open ditch roadway with a four-lane divided urban roadway. It will provide a pedestrian sidewalk, as well as drainage mitigation required for increased runoff. This project will also include approximately 5,000 feet of 12-inch waterline from the North Service Area booster station to West NASA Road. The boundary of this project will run from Abigail Lane to the West NASA Road/Grissom Road intersection.

Subdivisions, Areas or Streets Impacted

Shady Lane, Massengale Lane, W Nasa Rd., and Autumn Lakes

Project Status as of October 2022

Construction crews are currently in the pattern of placing about 600 cubic yards of roadway concrete a week. They have installed approximately 1,200 feet of the southwest bound lanes. The underground crew is finishing up installing the storm sewer along the northeast end of Grissom Rd. By October 14, it is anticipated to have the arterial storm line in place and the inlet connections along the north edge of the new Grissom Rd. Crews will focus on connecting the 16-inch force main once they get the storm system in place. A manufacturing delay has held up the installation of the interlocking pavers for the outfall, but it is anticipated to receive the pavers in the next couple of weeks.

Council has awarded the construction contract to Tandem Services, LLC on February 22, 2022 with Notice to Proceed issued on April 11, 2022. Construction is expected to be complete by April 6, 2023.
