There is frustration by downtown business owners in Salisbury over construction restrictions with the delays in Phase 2 of the Main Street project.

WBOC reports that businesses between Poplar Hill Avenue and Baptist Street say their stores and restaurants are struggling.

The television station reports that city officials would not comment on camera.

But they did send an email with estimates for construction completion.

The expected date for reopening the street is now set for December 16th.

Work will then begin on the street lights, sidewalks and other aesthetics.
