ROAD CLOSED: Main Street Construction Shuts Down Half of 500 Block.

Sidewalks and parking lots remain open for use.

The second phase of a Main Street construction project has closed half the 500 block to traffic.

Work began on the project to transfer water services to a newer main last week.

The transfer, storm sewer pipe and intake reconstruction and paving is expected to last about a month. Once complete crews will make the same repairs on the second half of the block up to Clark Avenue.
