The final portion of work on the Main Street Reconstruction Project will continue again next week after a roughly three-month delay caused by delays in utility relocation.
Earlier this week, Oncor advised the City it will begin moving overhead power lines underground starting next week, with work expected to be complete by early February. Once this milestone is reached, the City will begin the next stage of construction, including paving, sidewalks, and landscaping, with overall project completion expected in March 2026, weather permitting.
The Main Street Reconstruction Project, part of the City's ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure and enhance downtown connectivity, includes extensive improvements to pavement, utilities, pedestrian access, landscaping, and streetscape features between Greenville Avenue and Abrams Road. Highlights of the final project elements include a new dedicated turn lane onto Abrams Road to improve safety and access, upgraded water, sewer and storm drainage systems, barrier-free ramps at intersections, new trees and landscaping, and upgraded street lighting consistent with enhancements west of Greenville Avenue.
The project has involved phased construction to maintain access for businesses and motorists while crews work to modernize this historic corridor. City staff continue to coordinate with contractors and property owners to minimize disruptions and support local commerce during construction.
