Topeka.org: MacVicar Project Completion Celebrated
The completion of the MacVicar Avenue widening project was celebrated Monday during a 10 a.m. ribbon cutting ceremony at the MacVicar and Story Street intersection.
The $6.9 million project was completed 15 working days early and on budget. The project included widening the street from two to five lanes and relocating a major water main. Two lanes of traffic were maintained for all but five days during the nearly 19 months it was under reconstruction.
The project was funded by federal transportation funds ($2.6 million), state economic development funds ($300,000), private assessment district funds ($2.0 million) and City bonded funds ($2.0 million).
The design firm for the project was PEC, Inc. and the contractor was Dinkel Construction, Inc., both of Topeka. The City of Topeka and the Kansas Department of Transportation partnered on the project.
