New asphalt smoothed out parts of the notoriously bumpy North Water Street this week.
City crews worked to apply new layers between Princess and Walnut streets under the city’s street maintenance program, said a bulletin from the city’s communications office.
The asphalt is “temporary,” it noted.
“The road will receive permanent pavement as part of phase II of the Riverfront Park project, which is expected to begin in late 2015,” said the bulletin, referring to a major design overhaul planned for the park and North Water Street.
