LYNCHBURG, Va. โ€“ Lynchburgโ€™s Main Street Renewal Project is on the road to completion, even though itโ€™s faced some bumps along the way. Project manager Jim Talian said that while every building on Main Street between 12th and 8th streets is now connected to the new water and electric systems, theyโ€™re facing minor setbacks. The new water systems have a higher pressure than the old water systems, so we had to put pressure-reducing valves on all 57 water services. The 800-block of Main Street, scheduled to open by Thanksgiving, is now planned for early December, while the 1000-block, set to reopen by Christmas, has been pushed to late January. Talian said that despite setbacks, the entire project is expected is to be complete by June 2021, two months ahead of schedule.

Lynchburgโ€™s Main Street Renewal Project has taken a toll on traffic between 8th and 12th Street over the past year. But in recent months, businesses like Benny Scarpettaโ€™s have hit another roadblock: COVID-19. Businesses have faith in the future of Main Street. โ€œThe goal is that it brings in more business and to hear that itโ€™s already on track is super, super nice,โ€ Miles said.

LYNCHBURG, Va. - Lynchburg's downtown area is getting a major face-lift, but locals say construction could be bad for business. The Main Street Renewal Project in Lynchburg will close sidewalks and the road from 8th Street to 12th Street. Crews will replace water, power, sewer and sanitary lines underground. Above ground, they will replace sidewalks and landscaping. The project manager says they'll do the best they can to minimize the impact on businesses, locals and tourists.
