Roadwork on Two Havre de Grace Streets Starts This Week

A road improvement project will require limited access to Bourbon and Girard streets, the city of Havre de Grace announced.

The 700 blocks of both Bourbon and Girard will be milled and paved.

Milling and paving will begin Tuesday, Oct. 20, and continue through Thursday, Oct. 22, according to the announcement. There will be limited access to those areas between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. during that time.

The improvements are part of a larger vision for the city, according to Mayor Bill Martin. He said that there have been “a lot of issues” in some neighborhoods, mentioning Grace Harbour as an example during Monday night’s city council meeting. He said his hope is to pave two to three roads a year so that 10 years from now all the roads will be paved for those living on courts and residential streets in Havre de Grace.
