Roll Out The Barrels

October 5, 2010 By Lisa Grigsby 1 Comment

Orange Barrels, Orange Barrels Every Where I see!

This quote from comedian Todd Yohn (and video below) is about to describe downtown Dayton as our federal stimulus money funds the final phase of the $3 million “Gateway Project.” Work is projected to begin this Thursday on Main Street and will continue through November. The following streets are set to be under construction:

• South Main Street, from Sixth to Washington;

• First Street, from I-75 to Main;

• Monument Avenue, from I-75 to Ludlow and from Jefferson to St. Clair;

• Patterson Boulevard, from Monument to the Riverside Bridge;

• Perry Street, from Monument to Sixth;

• Sixth Street, from Main to Wilkinson;

• Third Street, from I-75 to Webster; and

• Wilkinson Street, from Monument to Sixth.

Expect lane closures and plenty of those “Orange Barrels” as you cruise through downtown!
