City Says Wheaton’s North Main Street to Reopen in November
Weather cited for delay in expected reopening of roadway in October.
Southbound North Main Street likely will reopen in mid-November, the city announced on its website. The southbound lane has been closed since May.
Originally, the work was expected to be complete in October, but weather conditions have caused delays for the contractor.
Crews have been replacing culvert pipes with a bridge, widening the channel and stabilizing the stream bank to reduce erosion. The city said the project is intended to reduce the frequency of flooding on North Main Street during significant rainfall. The changes will bring the water downstream to Northside Park.
