8.31.2026 Howard Street Construction Update

THIS WEEK

Crews will continue working in the area behind the 1850 Hotel this week, with additional sidewalk, hardscape, and asphalt work planned. Please anticipate temporary road closures in this area as crews work to complete these improvements.

RECENT PROGRESS

Crews continued making progress along Howard Street last week, completing additional sidewalk and hardscape work. It’s been great to see the new sidewalk connections coming together and to see people already enjoying some of the new features of the roadway, especially the benches and bike lanes!

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns 828-268-6283.
