Crews will begin milling and scratch coating Lebanon’s Walnut Street (U.S. Route 422 East) on Monday, June 21, from 12th Street east to 5th Avenue.

Milling removes the old roadway surface, and the asphalt scratch coat will provide a smooth foundation for the finish coat.

The operation is one of the final steps in the first stage of a years long repaving and underground utility upgrade program for the city’s main arteries, which began in 2019.

City of Lebanon Mayor Sherry Capello announced the plans on Friday, June 17, and asked drivers to slow down, pay attention, and obey “No Parking” signs in the work zone. She added that “motorists may want to consider using another route.”

Enforcement of posted street sweeping routes and the sweeping of non-posted streets will be suspended on the following streets for the week of June 21:

  • Walnut Street — from 12th Street to 5th Avenue
