MADISON TOWNSHIP — Madison Township will resurface more than a dozen streets in 2026 as officials move forward with a resurfacing program.

Road Superintendent Larry Weirich secured approval from the Madison Township trustees to seek construction bids for the project.

“I have a bid opening date of May 4 at 5 p.m., before our May 4 meeting,” Weirich said.

He noted the project date is decided after securing a bid — along with the length of construction usually not lasting too long.

“The projects usually last a couple weeks,” he said. “But it also depends on the weather.”

Neighborhood streets across township targeted

The resurfacing plan spans several residential streets, with project lengths measured in feet for each segment.

Madison Township streets

  • Keller Drive 1,500′
  • Barbara Lane 2,195′
  • Plum Place 1,350′
  • Pear Place 1,350′
  • Melody Lane from Grace Street to school parking lot 873′
  • Mayfair Drive north and south of Bellview Drive 1,047′
  • Bellview Drive from Beal Road to Crestwood Drive 1,366′
  • Gladysfield Drive 1,450′
  • Dianewood Drive 1,304′
  • Donnawood Drive 1,304′
  • Annfield Drive from Stewart Road to Gladysfield Drive 1,304′
  • Sabo Drive from Warner to dead end 500′
  • Pennsylvania Avenue from Yale to Lehigh 340′
  • Indiana Ext. from Sunset to dead end 1,004′

Weirich said residents will still be able to get to and from their homes with the construction company using traffic control.

Project specifications call for a blended asphalt mix with limited recycled material and a minimum binder content to ensure durability.

Estimated quantities include about 1,793 tons of asphalt at an average depth of one inch, along with 3,226 gallons of tack.

The project also includes approximately 455 square yards of pavement planing and adjustments to five manholes or catch basins to match the new road grade.

The quantities serve as estimates for bidding purposes and may change during construction.

Bidding process begins

Township officials will accept sealed bids until 5 p.m. May 4, when they will open and read submissions aloud.

Contractors must clearly label bid envelopes as “BID FOR Madison Township 2026 Road Resurfacing” along with the company name.

Bidders must include a bid guarantee, either for the full amount or a certified or cashier’s check equal to 10 percent of the bid. All bids must be on company letterhead and be signed by an authorized person from the company.

Contractors must contact Weirich at least 72 hours before the May 4 bid opening.

Trustee Dan Fletcher said the township will share the bid notice with local contractors and post it online, including their Facebook and website.

Interested contractors can obtain bid specifications at Madison Township Hall, 817 Expressview Drive, or by calling 419-589-9999.

Trustees may adjust the final list of roads depending on available funding. For more information, contact Weirich at 419-565-5014 or madisonroaddept@gmail.com.
