Mississippi State University's heavily traveled Hardy Street is expected to reopen Aug. 16 after striping of the roadway is complete.
Often called "Engineering Row," the north-south street connecting East Lee Boulevard with Morrill Road closed in mid-May for major repairs, including new asphalt and upgraded drainage, curbs and gutters.
Resurfacing recently was completed, and striping should be finished by the end of this week--nearly a week before the school year begins on Aug. 23.
Work was performed by MSU Physical Plant personnel using materials donated by area contractors.
For more information, telephone Don Mott, Peter Rook or Timmy Shaw of physical plant operations at (662) 325-2052.
