Market Street closed to vehicles this week
The city of Clinton plans to close Market Street this week and several following weeks to all vehicles.
The road will be closed Monday until Friday. On Friday at 3 p.m. it will reopen for each weekend, staying open on Saturday and Sunday.
Taylor Cullison, special event coordinator for the city, said the closure will speed along renovation work in the area which includes water, sewer, sidewalk and landscaping improvements.
“This will be a weekly schedule for the foreseeable future,” she said. She did not have any information on a completion date.
Downtown stores will remain open during these closures.
“Please make sure that you keep shopping!” Cullison said. “Many businesses have back doors for people to utilize; just look for the signage that is down there!”
City Manager Roger Houck told the City Council on June 23 that issues with water lines had caused delays.
