An extensive downtown street and sidewalks construction project in the 600 block of Market Street calls for the road’s closure, beginning today (5/8).

The $493,515 project calls for rebuilding approximately 300 linear feet of concrete street with new sidewalks, curbs, street lights and tree wells in the section of Market Street between Clinch and Church avenues, according to a city press release.

Traffic will be detoured east on to West Church Avenue, north on South Gay Street, then west on Clinch Avenue. Pedestrian access will be maintained on one side of the street at all times.

Work is expected to continue for 150 days, with the completion scheduled for mid-October 2019. The contractor is McKinnon Construction Co.
