Longview, TX — The discovery of unknown underground water and sewer lines has pushed the renovation of Green Street a few weeks behind schedule, but city architect Brent Brevard said the $6 million renovation of the entire street is still on pace to be completed sometime in June.

Renovation of the Green Street underpass between Cotton and Tyler streets was one piece of a set of downtown improvements that eventually will include other work on Green, as well as on Center and Methvin streets, Brevard said.

“(The underpass) had a 10-foot clearance, and we are going to make it 11-foot clearance,” Brevardt. “We are also going to improve the storm drainage, get that under control to ensure that that underpass does not flood during storms.”
