Weather permitting, a good portion of a downtown road project could be repaved beginning this weekend.

Various stretches of South Railway Street where it edges the downtown core have been closed this summer as crews replaced underground pipes and water lines.

Officials said Friday that top lift paving on two blocks, from Second to Fourth streets, could begin on Sunday.

Motorists and pedestrians are asked to obey all posted signs and be aware of construction equipment.
