Railroad Street in Hamlet should be ready to reopen to traffic this evening. Engineer Lee Nagai told the town council Wednesday that the asphalt placement is done. He said the contractor still needs to clean up the edges and asphalt still needs to cure a bit, but Nagai said he’d be comfortable allowing traffic on it by this evening.
Railroad Street was resurfaced from Jefferson to Starke streets, with 75 percent of the cost covered by a Community Crossings grant.
