Mesa Drive Extension Project
Base Work Completed, On Hiatus
for Winter Season
Contractors for the Mesa Drive Extension Project
have cleared the area and completed base work
for the project; however, due to the inability of
asphalt to lay correctly in colder temperatures, the
project is currently on a hiatus for the winter
season.
If asphalt is laid on a highway during cold temperatures, it will freeze and stiffen
resulting in potholes and cracks in the surface. To lay asphalt correctly, several days of
above 50-degree weather is required.

Once Mesa Drive from 16 Street (behind Walmart) to 24 Street is completed, the
th
contractors will pave and add sidewalks from 24 Street from Kermit Street and Andy
Taylor Road. Estimated completion date is April 2024.
The project is a comprehensive plan priority focused on improving safety, connectivity
and access as well as encouraging growth and development in this area. Funding for
the project is provided through the American Rescue Plan Act. This project is being
completed in partnership with Hale County.
