Warmer temperatures and sunny skies mean paving season has returned, and Meridian drivers will see crews are already at work milling old asphalt and laying down new pavement.
The paving project, which is being handled by Falcon Contracting, a paving company out of Columbus which has an annual term bid to do paving for the city.
Included in the project are Poplar Springs Drive, 34th Avenue, 29th Avenue, King Road, State Boulevard, 40th Avenue and College Drive.
