Clinton's Public Works Director is asking the community to avoid North Center Street in Clinton this week.

Steve Lobb tells Regional Radio News the construction on the $1.5-million street renovation is ramping up with a bevy of activity this week and simply will not be able to handle traffic as they take on several significant parts of the project.

Lobb says work for Center Street is right on target. We'll have more with him later this week on the latest with the work on Regional Radio News.
