West 2nd Street work to begin in Frederick

May 17—Work is expected to begin Wednesday on a project to reconstruct a section of West 2nd Street in downtown Frederick.

The $550,000 project on West 2nd Street from North Bentz Street to College Avenue is expected to take four to six weeks, and will require parking restrictions and lane closures, according to a release from the city.

Contractor C. William Hetzer will dig up the existing street, and pour and compact 6 inches of crushed stone. Three layers of asphalt will be put down before the new parking spaces, center line, crosswalks and other markings are added.
