Two major Ada streets are involved in major pavement repairs this week.
The project also includes installation of curb ramps and concrete sidewalks within the village of Ada.
On South Main the grinding takes the street down to the former brick Main Street of a century ago. A photo below reveals about 6 inches of pavement laid over the years since the street was bricked.
The streets are:
• State Route 81 between the western village limits and Township Road 55
• State Route 235 between the northern village limits and State Route 309
The work has turned much of Main Street into a one-lane roadway.
It’s Harvest and Herb Festival weekend in Ada, with the event set from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday on Main Street.
The 34th annual Ada Area Chamber of Commerce-sponsored festival should draw a large crowd. It will offer over 150 craft vendors (and growing daily), a kid’s area, parade, crowning of a festival queen and many food booths.
Helicopter flyover
Several new features are part of this year’s festival. The feature making the most noise is a scheduled flyover by a St. Rita’s-Mercy Health helicopter to signal the start of the 10 a.m. parade.
