This work is scheduled for Aug. 13 through Aug. 23.
Paving which includes adding a new top layer of asphalt. This work is scheduled for Aug. 25 through Sept. 3. Striping the pavement for parking spaces and crosswalks will be completed shortly after the milling and paving are completed. This road improvement work will be performed in the overnight hours from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.  Please note that it is likely the schedule may vary due to weather between now and when the work is scheduled to begin. Updates will be provided as received from the DOT.
Residents and businesses should be advised that despite the work occurring during the evening hours, considerable disruptions are expected during this time.  Additionally, parking on Main Street will be restricted during the times that work is being performed.
