Crossville's Main Street through downtown closed most of this week.

In a cooperative effort to improve Main Street/Highway 127 through the old downtown portion of Crossville, the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) and the Crossville Street Department are working to improve the road since it was previously announced that the area would not be repaved until 2020.

Portions of Main Street will be closed much of the week as

TDOT and Crossville Street department work on paving.

Starting Monday morning the downtown area has been closed to through traffic between 6 AM and about 4:30 PM while work to improve the road takes place.  Crossville Street Superintendent Kevin Music said that if things went well they should be wrapped up by Thursday evening but rain or other issues could delay the completion.  The TDOT and city crews are working together on the project.

Rough areas of pavement are being removed and repaved

as part of the project. 

The project is cutting out rough areas of pavement and new strips of asphalt are being laid down hoping to reduce the roughness of travelling on the road.

Almost ready for the roller.
