Main Street Widening Project Nearing Completion

Tired of seeing those barricades and bright orange barrels in the middle of Main Street between Congress Boulevard and Rowan Road?

Well, they could be gone soon.

Work on widening the section of Main Street is on schedule to be complete enough by the end of the month. The work adds a continuous middle turn on Main Street. It also adds sewer and drainage improvements.

To accomodate work, the westbound lane of Main Street between Rowan Road and Wardwell Street has been closed since late last summer. It will reopen once the project’s finished. 

The project was 90 percent done as of March 2, according to the city of New Port Richey.  Over the next two weeks, asphalt and landscaping will be completed.
