(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council has approved a bid for widening and doing an asphalt overlay of Bill Schock Boulevard from 28th Street to 35th Street. 

City Administrator Gary Jorn said the plan is to mill off three-inches of the existing asphalt, mill off the concrete curbs and then widen the road by a foot on each side. Once the overlay project is completed, the road will be striped.

Two bids were received for project.  Herzog was awarded the bid in an amount of nearly $146,000.  It was the low bid.  Pavers Inc. submitted a bid of nearly $184,000.
