A major Old Town Greenwood intersection has reopened after months of roadwork.
The intersection of Main Street and Madison Avenue in the heart of Old Town reopened to vehicular traffic Wednesday, the city of Greenwood announced on social media. Since August, the intersection of Main Street and Madison Avenue has been closed as work crews reconstruct the intersection, widen sidewalks, install brick pavers and new traffic signals and upgrade drainage infrastructure.
The total project is expected to cost between $4.5 to $5 million, including utility work. The streetscape work — decorative bricks, lighting, paving and sidewalks — is likely in the high $3 million range and is being paid with cash on hand allocated from the Central and East TIF, or tax increment financing, districts by the redevelopment commission. The utilities will pay the costs associated with their infrastructure, city officials previously said.
