South Main Street water line project, from Ordway to Gypsy Lane roads, to start Monday

Road construction in Bowling Green

The South Main Street water line improvement project in Bowling Green is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 24. This project will involve the replacement of water lines along South Main Street from Ordway Avenue to Gypsy Lane Road. 

The work area will be divided into zones to minimize impact. Both northbound lanes, along with the center turn lane, will be closed within the work area with both lanes of travel shifting to the southbound lanes. 

Access to businesses will be maintained throughout the duration of the project. Additional intermittent closures at intersections will be necessary as work progresses.

This is part of a two-phased project that will extend into 2025. Water line improvement work will be completed this year, with paving along South Main Street, from Ordway to the southern corporation line, to follow in 2025. 

This project also includes ADA ramp improvements, a separated shared use path along the west side of South Main (from Gypsy Lane to Napoleon Road), traffic signal replacement and road widening at the South Main/Napoleon Road intersection, and the installation of two pedestrian hybrid beacons between Gypsy Lane and Napoleon roads.

This schedule is dependent upon weather and progress of work.
