Make Way for Dump Trucks

Jamie Larson reports in today's Register-Star that the entire length of Front Street will be repaved next week--from Dock Street at the north to Broad Street at the south: "All of city's Front Street to be repaved next week." The project is expected to start on Wednesday, April 20, and continue through Friday, April 22. Larson reports: "During the process Front Street will be reduced to one lane, with periodic brief traffic stops in both directions as equipment is moved." It is hoped that some effort has been made to coordinate with O&G, because if a gravel barge is being loaded at the dock on those days, that one lane will be clogged with dump trucks.
