Road construction updates: Main, Commerce and Maryland

Image

If you’re weary of navigating around the Downtown road work that has consumed Main and Commerce streets for much of the past year, you’ll be happy to hear that construction is at a halfway point. That means Commerce will soon be a fully functional one-way street, complete with the new southbound “alley” portion running from Garces Avenue to Charleston Boulevard. City engineers further report that sidewalk replacement and sewer work will soon begin on Main, and that they’re doing all they can to minimize obstructions to local businesses. (Much of the heavy sewer work has already been done during overnight closures.) With that worry cast aside, we can focus on the rough surface of Maryland Parkway—which, an RTC representative says, is due for county-sponsored road improvements between Russell Road and Twain Avenue, probably early next year.
