Central Street Receives Touch-Up

Submitted by jeffpsmith on Thu, 06/26/2008 - 04:39

Many commuters, residents, and local businesses were surprised Monday to find much of Central Street, from Eastwood to west of Hartrey, under construction. Large portions of the street had been scraped and grooved in preparation for resurfacing.

Some of the work this year took place on the very same stretches that had seen potholes get filled one year ago, again just before the 4th of July parade.
