Cruising the main drag: Beckwith St. in Smiths Falls could open next week, weather dependent

Its news residents in Smiths Falls have been waiting to hear.

Beckwith Street will re-open next week, barring any unforeseen weather delays, that is.

Director of public works and utilities Paul McMMunn told council this week that the stretch under construction would re-open early to mid-week, next week.

He added, that the town has had quite a bit of rain with more in the forecast so opening could be pushed a bit.

They need to paint the road, so it has to be dry. Other things left to do are hang traffic lights and signals.
