Paving Completed on High Street; Library Construction Continues
A section of High Street was paved today, with a detour set up at Gay Street. The library consruction also continued.
Today was the second day of paving and construction on High Street/Route 109, which resulted in a lane closure and detour at Gay Street.
The paving was completed at about 10:30 p.m., but needed to dry until 12 p.m. because of the intense heat. The lane was closed until then, in an attempt to let the pavement dry and not be ruined by passing cars.
The paving was to cover up a capped water main that was originally from the Colburn School.
