Asphalt project up for award

L.L. Pelling’s work on the repaving project in Lisbon to the City of Mount Vernon’s roundabout is up for an award from the Asphalt Services of Iowa.

L.L. Pelling submitted the project to the state to compete against other projects in the state, and was selected as a high quality paving project.

The City of Lisbon also approved the next bill for the resurfacing project.

City engineer David Schechinger said that the project is now 100 percent complete, with the project coming in $10,000 under the original bid.

“It’s a good end product, and we recommend paying for the project,” Schechinger said.
