Main Street Reconstruction Resumes

The next stage of the Main Street Reconstruction Project has begun as Oncor has started working on relocating its overhead power lines underground starting with the installation of underground conduits. Oncor's work was delayed due the winter storm that hit the area in late January and the acquisition of a wider easement from the property owner to accommodate the transformer equipment.

Once Oncor's work is complete, the City will begin its final phase of the project, which includes completing the pavement, sidewalks and landscaping work. The overall project should be complete by the end of April, weather permitting.

The Main Street Reconstruction Project includes improvements to pavement, utilities, pedestrian access, landscaping and streetscape features between Greenville Avenue and Abrams Road. It is a part of the City's continuing effort to improve infrastructure and enhance downtown connectivity. The project includes a new dedicated turn lane onto Abrams Road to improve safety and access, upgraded water, sewer and storm drainage systems, barrier-free ramps at intersections, new trees and landscaping, and upgraded street lighting consistent with enhancements west of Greenville Avenue.
