Topping Began On Vienna Street For Highways
Sidewalk supervisors were put in force yesterday as an army of men and heavy equipment began two inches of blacktop on Vienna and Trenton streets. Constan Agpinalt Inc. started North Trenton topping, reaching the 1C railroad by noon. The project precedes making the routes one way for access to new Interstate 20 with Trenton traffic moving north and south as planned. Traffic was kept off Trenton Street as hot mix asphalt, steam rollers, and gear poured and packed the surfaces while merchants watched. Once Trenton ends at Highway 80, Vienna paving will begin. The company had previously raised the level of the manholes along the street.
