Part of Hillsboro Street in Oxford is getting a facelift, and city staff have said the improvements will take several weeks to complete.
Beginning on Monday, Sept. 23, Hillsboro Street, from Lewis Street to College Street will be affected, so drivers in and around that area can expect detours. No street parking will be allowed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., but city staff said nearby public parking is available.
Vehicles parked on the street within the work zone during the day may be subject to towing.
H.G. Reynolds is in charge of the project, which begins with the milling of the existing asphalt followed by resurfacing.
“While we aim to minimize disruptions, some road closures and detours will be necessary. However, one lane will remain open for through traffic,” according to a statement issued by City Communications Specialist Sabrina Richards.
