Main Street Renewal project enters final phase; 2-way traffic coming in July
Head of Lynchburg’s Main Street Renewal project Jim Talian joined the Morningline to discuss the project’s progress and plans for 2-way traffic on Main and Church Streets.
Main Street to have 2-way traffic by end of July
Lynchburg officials say Main Street in downtown will convert from one-way to two-way traffic at the end of July. Lynchburg council voted in 2019 to convert both Main and Church streets to 2-way traffic after the Main Street Renewal Project was finished, and the city released a timeline today. Before the 2-way conversion, three blocks of main street will be shut down this spring and early summer to rebuild the road and install final paving. Church Street will be converted to two-way traffic in the fall.
