The City of Janesville and Downtown Development Alliance will host a grand reopening event following the completion of Main Street construction activities at noon on Friday, October 30 at the Marvin W. Roth Community Pavilion in Lower Courthouse Park. The event will be held to dedicate the new road and express appreciation to the Main Street business community and their patrons for enduring the construction process. Following a short ceremony and ribbon-cutting, attendees will be encouraged to visit the businesses in downtown Janesville.

North and South Main Street from Centerway to St. Lawrence Avenue was rehabilitated in two phases from May to October this year. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation managed the project which included replacement of water main, asphalt pavement, sidewalks, intermittent curb and gutter; installation of decorative street lighting, streetscape amenities and plantings; traffic signal modifications; and more. The construction is expected to be completed prior to October 28 at which time the road will be reopened. Please look out for a press release announcing the confirmed reopening date.

The City of Janesville and Downtown Development Alliance would like to thank the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for managing the project and the Main Street business owners and patrons for their patience throughout this project.
