Jackson going north from Monroe will remain closed until the contractor gets that section of street replaced. Mt Pleasant Utilities still needs to put the street lights back up but are waiting on some parts to be delivered to install the lights. Special thanks to Kinney & Sons & Jones Contracting for moving right along with the street removal and replacement.

Special thanks to all the Utility Companies that worked so hard to get the relocation of the Utilities Completed. As always they uncovered in foreseen problems through out their work.
