Simpson Road Update

After eight months of construction, the Simpson Road project is entering phase two. The through lane has shifted to the new section to allow construction to begin on the other side.

When completed it will widen the new road from twenty feet to twenty-six feet with a five foot side walk. There is also suppose to be a turn lane at First Baptist.  Many have asked about the need for the sidewalk. The federal grant that was used to pay for 80% of the project, required the sidewalk. The idea being, it would encourage people to walk to the store rather than driving. I kid you not. 

The project is slated for complication by December 2021.
