CARBONDALE - The City of Carbondale would like to inform residents, visitors, and business owners that construction work is ongoing from now until 8/22 in the Old West Main Street and North Marion Street corridors. This project is part of the City’s continued efforts to revitalize infrastructure, enhancing accessibility, aesthetics, and long-term functionality. 

The ongoing work scheduled for 8/11-8/22 at Old West Main Street & North Marion Street may cause temporary changes to parking availability and traffic flow in and around the area.
