Massachusetts Street gets summer makeover

Friday, June 13, 2008

A repaving project at the 600 block of Massachusetts Street began June 4.

Two-block sections of the street will be closed to traffic during the construction. Adjustments were made to the schedule because of heavy rain.

Construction should be completed on Massachusetts between Sixth and Seventh streets by June 13.

Beginning June 16, Massachusetts Street will be closed from Tenth to North Park streets.

Eighth to Tenth streets will be closed from June 23 to June 27.

During the Massachusetts Street construction, the sidewalk will remain accessible to the public.

Once construction on Massachusetts Street is completed, contractors will move on to Seventh Street from Vermont to New York streets and Kentucky from Sixth to 12th streets.
