UPDATE: 8/20/26 @ 1:00pm: N MAIN ST IS NOW OPEN

***** TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE *****

Due the demolition of 115 N Main St, we have decided to close the 100 Block of N Main St from Park Ave to Albany St, leaving Albany Street open, with the ability to get around that median toward State Street. The eastbound turning lane on to N. Main from State Street will also be closed.

We have advised all affected businesses of this decision.

Please avoid this area throughout the day.

We thank you for your cooperation,
Your Village Board
