The first phase of the downtown project on E Main St and Center St is set to begin Monday, April 7th, 2025. The road closures in this first phase will include Center St from Church Street to State Street. Both Church Street and State Street intersections will remain open to traffic with the only intersection closed being Main St and Center St.
There will be a detour on-site directing traffic to 1st St for the thru traffic along Center St. For vehicles coming downtown on Center St, from the south, we ask those wanting to visit businesses on W Main St to utilize Church Street and those visiting businesses on E Main St to utilize Linn Street.
Pedestrian access will be maintained along all business street frontages on Center St and Main St during most of Phase 1. There will also be a gravel pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Main St and Center St so pedestrians can cross from W Main St to E Main St.
Please support downtown and all businesses that may be impacted by the inconvenience of this construction. This project is addressing underground infrastructure that is over 100-years old before the work you can see, such as streets, sidewalks, landscaping, lighting, benches, and trash cans get underway.
