The City of Madison reaffirmed its memorandum of understanding with Lake County during Monday’s city commission meeting. The memorandum is meant to help secure funding for reconstruction of the Madison bypass, and was first approved in 2023. The city and county are applying for funding this year, for the third time.
Mayor Roy Lindsay says the city and county would like to see the road repaired, but funding for a project of that size is an issue.
If funding becomes available, there will be other considerations for the county and city. Currently the road is a combination of four, three, and two lanes. Engineers have suggested that the road could be better served as three lanes throughout.
