RINCON — The path to better transportation is being paved in Rincon.

Three other bids were considered.

The work on the Georgia Avenue/Savannah Avenue project and the Weisenbaker Road/4th Street project is expected to be completed within 90 days.

The council also OK’d a bid for a LMIG (Local Maintenance & Improvement Grant) project on Lockner Drive. The winning bid of $147,530.40, for draining improvements and repaving, was submitted by Sikes Brothers of Metter.

 The Lockner Drive project is expected to be completed in 30 days after the contract is finalized.
