Construction in Oil City expected to end soon

Construction involving sidewalks and light poles around Town Square in Oil City could wrap up later this week or next week, depending on weather, said Becky Anderson, a city employee.

The sidewalk work began in late August, coinciding with the replacement of the railroad crossing on Seneca Street near Veterans Bridge, which led to congested traffic in Oil City in late August.

The sidewalk project includes replacement of eight light poles and sidewalk reconstruction around Town Square.

The sidewalk along Town Square on the Sycamore Street side is being replaced.

Sections of the sidewalk and curbs on the other three sides of the square are also being patched or replaced.

The projected cost of the sidewalk project is $103,800, which will be paid for out of the city’s 2018 and 2019 Community Development Block Grant funds.
