Retaining Wall Built in Nelsonville Street Project
Stone from former canal locks is used in a large retaining wall for the Oak St improvement in Nelsonville. The wall, over 12 feet high, separates two one way streets on differing elevations as WPA funds advance paving and curb work ahead of extending Oak St toward Grover St. Property owners must pay 35 cents per foot for materials to cover front footage before work proceeds.
