Downtown Street Paving Postponed Until Next Week

The paving of downtown city streets, which was expected to have begun today (Tuesday), has been postponed until next week.
City Public Works Director Kevin Robinson said officials of Tinsley Asphalt Company, the contractor for the project, informed him today (Tuesday) that they have another project elsewhere to finish before they start this one.
Tentative plans were to begin paving today (Tuesday) but as Robinson noted those plans were subject to change.
All milling work has been completed and no paving is planned for this week. Anyone having business downtown will find the public square and all the streets in the downtown area open for traveling and parking.
In addition to the public square around the courthouse, streets to paved are Don Cantrell Street by City Hall, West Walnut Street, East Main Street, West Main Street, and West Market Street. The work will be done in sections and only the sections being worked on will be closed.
The courthouse and all businesses in the area will also remain open during this period
