The week of Monday, March 11, 2024, through Friday, March 15, 2024, contractors will be working the area adjacent to Boone Street between Sabin Drive and Andrew Jackson Highway.   The work will primarily be conducted in the drainage way that flows between the Library and the Visitors Center but may impact areas of the parking lots along this route.  This includes the following locations:  Sabin Drive at Whites Auto Parts, Library Parking Lot, Visitors Center Parking Lot, Post Office Parking Lot, Town Hall Parking Lot, and the entrance to the shopping area near Renascent Bank and Arby’s on the Southbound lane of Andrew Jackson Highway.

Drivers are to be aware of construction vehicles and personnel in the work areas.  At times, the equipment utilized will make a bursting noise followed by an air and steam release.
