NEW KNOXVILLE – The planned 2021 reconstruction of Bremen Street was moved forward when the New Knoxville Council approved a storm sewer reconstruction contract at their meeting Wednesday night.
Tom’s Construction Inc. was awarded $198,518 contract to replace the storm sewers along Bremen Street sometime in the spring of 2021.
Village Administrator Larry Kellermeyer told council that he was working with Choice One Engineering to coordinate this storm sewer construction project with the planned widening and repaving of this section of Bremen Street in 2021.
Also, he said village crews would be burying electrical lines along the north side of the street around that time so that poles can removed. He added NKTelco had already buried their lines in that location.
