Work Beginning on Springfield Road Project

The east part of the road, which is being completed first in an effort to minimize traffic problems when the school year begins next month, is scheduled to be resurfaced from Main Street to Highway 30 while the sidewalks on both sides will be upgraded and new water and relined sewer lines installed.

From the city limits to Highway 30 on the west side, a heavier resurfacing will take place and a new sidewalk will be put in on one side with new water and relined sewer lines running the entire length.

Officials are hopeful the work will be done by Thanksgiving.
