Main Street in downtown Williamsburg between Second and Third streets is re-opened to traffic Friday afternoon.
Thursday afternoon, Serve Pro cleaned up the last of the debris in the roadway from the Jan. 20 blaze that gutted several buildings with offices downstairs and apartments upstairs.
The debris was removed Thursday out of the roadway, and the Williamsburg Fire Department sprayed off the street.
Williamsburg Mayor Roddy Harrison said that the temporary fence, which has been blocking off the burned buildings, will soon be replaced with one rented from a local company this time.
The new fence will be placed along the sidewalk instead of in the street though.
Harrison said that once the street re-opens, parking will be allowed on Main Street between Second and Third streets only on the right hand or courthouse side of the street.
Parking will not be allowed on the left-hand side of the street in that area next to the burned buildings, at least for the time being.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) National Response Team investigated the blaze and concluded that no foul play was involved.
Harrison said that he thinks six buildings, seven businesses and six apartments were affected. Two of the apartments had just a small amount of damage. All the apartment residents were relocated.
Harrison said that he has meetings planned with several groups Tuesday including with a structural engineer, officials with Serve Pro, and an official with the Kentucky Heritage Council about the burned buildings.
