The City of Independence begins a major paving project on one of its major roadways today.

 

 City Engineer John Garris says the paving project on east Main Street will take place in order to minimize the effect on traffic in the downtown area.

 

Garris says the project will also not affect Neewollah.

 

Sidewalks in the work area will also be replaced during the project. Motorists and pedestrians are asked to exercise caution and patience in all work zones.
