The current $2.6 million Binkley St. improvement plan that include the installation of three mini roundabouts is moving forward according to Soldotna City Engineer Kyle Kornelis who said they are hoping to have a contractor assigned to the project within the next month.
Kornelis: “We’re continuing to work on the Binkley St. project, we’ve actually assembled the bid documents and we’re moving forward with the proposed design. We’re hoping to get a contractor on board here within a month or so and get to work as soon as the weather permit and try and get some of the work done before some of the summer chaos hits and do our best to work with the contractor and business owners and property owners and the travelling public during the summer.”
We asked if the project has seen any changes since the unveiling of the roundabouts to the public in early February.
Kornelis:” Not significantly we’ve just kind of fine tuned some of the details and some of the drawings to make sure that it fits and has the correct geometry and alignment and things of that nature.”
Construction is slated to begin this summer.
