The project, which spans<br \/>\nfrom Ashley Street to Park Avenue, will include the reconstruction<br \/>\nof the Williams Street centerline, new curbs and gutters at various<br \/>\nlocations, minor storm drainage repairs and a new asphalt surface.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe project also features the construction of a 10-foot wide<br \/>\nsidewalk that will tie into the existing 2.7 mile Azalea Trail,<br \/>\nwhich currently stretches from the Vallotton Youth Complex to the<br \/>\nCraig Center on Gordon Street. This multi-purpose trail will soon<br \/>\nafter be extended to Woodrow Wilson Drive, providing additional<br \/>\nrecreational opportunities and a safe route for citizens traveling<br \/>\nto the South Georgia Regional Library.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.l-a-k-e.org\/blog\/2012\/05\/map-of-azalea-city-trail-path-of-saturday-afternoons-bike-ride.html\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border:none;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.l-a-k-e.org\/blog\/images\/6a0120a58214e4970b0168eb71a83f970c-pi.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nDuring the construction,<!--more--> sections of Williams Street will be closed<br \/>\nto the traveling public.
