The Tinsley Asphalt Company this morning (Tuesday) began milling downtown city streets in preparation for repaving.
The work has primarily been done today (Tuesday) on Don Cantrell Street and West Walnut Street on the north side of the courthouse. Traffic has been blocked in that area.
According to City Public Works Director Kevin Robinson, Officials of Tinsley have informed him that all the milling work downtown should be completed within three days and then the paving project will begin.
As a convenience to downtown businesses and their customers, the City of Smithville will provide transportation to anyone needing to get to a downtown business who cannot park on or near the public square because of the milling and paving project. You are asked to park in the city parking lot across from Love-Cantrell Funeral Home and call 615-597-6318 extension 1 to make arrangements for a city worker to pick you up and transport you by golf cart downtown and then back to your vehicle.
In addition to the public square around the courthouse, streets to be milled and repaved are Don Cantrell Street by City Hall, West Walnut Street, East Main Street, West Main Street, and West Market Street. The work is being done in sections and only the sections being worked on will be closed. The remainder of the square and streets are open
The courthouse and all businesses in the area will also remain open during this period
