Main Street makeover begins the week of September 9th, along with other street work
A milling and overlay project is scheduled to begin the week of September 9, 2024 on a stretch of Main Street from 2nd Street west to 8th Street. To minimize traffic disruption, most of the construction work will be scheduled in the late evening hours, with the street open to vehicles during the day. In the event road closures or partial road closures are needed, notification signage will be posted, and a pilot car will be utilized to guide traffic through the work zone.
Portions of the adjacent sidewalks also will be replaced during the project, which may result in temporary closures or congestion due to concrete work.
In addition to the Main Street work, several downtown intersections are slated for concrete improvements in the coming weeks. The work will not affect access to businesses, and no concrete work will be scheduled during the week of Neewollah, October 18-26, or initiated before Neewollah in the areas of Penn & Main or 6th & Main unless it can be completed and open to the public before the festival.
Motorists and pedestrians are asked to exercise caution and patience in all work zones.
