Eyes on Main Street - November 15, 2013

Entering the Final Stages and MnDOT Update

The word on Main Street last night was that the final layer was going to begin today. When I left for work this morning, it hadn't started, but they hoped to finish it by tomorrow. Next week will be some final touches as seen in the update from MnDOT below. Watch for details on a grand opening celebration possibly next week!

Here is the update from Jeffrey Bunch - Project Engineer from MnDOT District 6-Winona.
