Good fortune from Mother Nature has allowed the $1.5-million Center Street Project in Clinton to move along with very few interruptions since its start last month.

Public Works Director Steve Lobb tells Regional Radio News the project is moving right along as this week has been very busy and laying of pavement is underway.

According to Lobb, because of funding, the project will not be as expansive as they had hoped. Thanks to good weather, they are moving along smoothly on things like the curb and gutter and ADA compliant walkways.

The north end of Center Street is receiving extensive repairs, but it is not getting resurfaced. Lobb anticipates the rest of the project getting completed in the next five years. 

Lobb continues to ask residents to avoid Center Street this week as workers take on major parts of the renovations.
