Construction Update: First and State Streets Will Close Monday

All flatwork on First Street was scheduled to be completed, Friday, July 12, before the Art & Wine Festival. Flatwork includes new curbs, gutters, sidewalks and patches of asphalt. This concludes the concrete and asphalt work on this section of First Street. Landscaping and new street lighting will go in later down the line.

On Monday, the intersection at First and State streets will be closed. This intersection closure is expected to last until early September. 

In addition the following two closures will affect downtown traffic:

1. State Street between First and Second streets will be closed to vehicular traffic
2.  Parking at the corner of Main and First Street (400 First Street) will no longer be accessible

Construction crews will begin layout work on Monday and will then begin saw-cutting the intersection in preparation for removal of the roadbed. Underground work will also be performed over the next couple of weeks including the installation of a new sewer connection and storm drain.
