Main Street work now planned for daytime


Plans have changed in regard to next week's work on Main Street in Marion. Originally, contractors were going to work at night. Now, the Transportation Cabinet says a milling crew will be working on Main Street during daytime hours starting Wednesday and running through Friday.

"This daytime milling project to prepare for night paving the following week will require a high level of public cooperation due to on-street parking in the downtown area," Kentucky Department of Highways said in a news release issued today. "The milling portion of the work is expected to take about three days to complete."

Following completion of the milling work, the contractor tentatively plans to start night paving along Main Street Monday, Sept. 10.

The work zone is from Tabor's Towing and Repair to the city sewer plant.
