Paving Project in Heart of Town
Wow, the paving is now in the heart of Central Avenue in Belmont this week.
If at all possible, try to avoid Central between the Point and Keener.
It is amazing that the road crews ground the asphalt all the way down to the first level of concrete. Several areas are showing brick pavers in some sections.
A Little late, but Necessary – Road Closures !
That paving project we talked about a few weeks ago has now moved over to Central Avenue/South Point Road from Main Street at Nichols to Nixon Road by South Point HS. Sorry we, didn’t post this sooner — like Saturday morning — there was havoc down there this AM.
People can use Julia St, Stowe Road (Hwy 273), and the various side streets to cut through and get around the traffic.
If you live in the neighborhoods, you know which streets to use.
