The next stage of the Main Street Reconstruction Project began this week as Oncor started working on relocating its overhead power lines underground, beginning with the installation of underground conduits. Oncor’s work was delayed due to the winter storm that hit the area in late January and the acquisition of a wider easement from the property owner to accommodate the transformer equipment.  

Once Oncor’s work is complete, the City will begin its final phase of the project, which includes completing the pavement, sidewalks and landscaping work. The overall project should be complete by the end of April, weather permitting.  

The Main Street Reconstruction Project is a part of the City’s continuing effort to improve infrastructure and enhance downtown connectivity. It includes a new dedicated turn lane onto Abrams Road to improve safety and access, upgraded water, sewer and storm drainage systems, barrier-free ramps at intersections, new trees and landscaping, and upgraded street lighting consistent with enhancements west of Greenville Avenue.
