The project will mean the total reconstruction of the roadway including widening, realignment, traffic signal and water main replacement and storm sewer improvements.
In addition, the roadway will have heavy-duty pavement to accommodate truck traffic, according to city officials. City officials said construction would begin this spring.
The Yankee Road project will complement the $6.5 million, two-mile widening and reconstruction of Oxford State Road from Yankee Road to Spurlino Materials, which is projected to be completed in late 2017.
