The 2024 hot mix asphalt resurfacing project in Newton has been completed at a savings to the city of almost $14,000. Newton Public Works Director Joe Grife says $265,199 was spent, while the accepted low bid from Manatt’s Incorporated of Brooklyn, Iowa was for $279,175. The project was awarded to Manatt’s in July. It included milling and overlaying several sections of South 8th Avenue and adding five new ADA Ramps. The entrance drive and other paved areas at the Newton Sanitary Landfill were also patched or resurfaced.
