PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED CONSTRUCTION CLOSURES
Rossville Ave & E 17th Street - Norfolk Southern Grade Crossing Closures
From Monday, March 9th until Friday, March 13th, the Norfolk Southern grade crossings located at Rossville Ave and E 17th Street will be closed to all traffic for rebuilding. Alternative routes include Adams Street and Jefferson Street.
CDOT, Benton Oil, and the Norfolk Southern Transload Facility management team have closely coordinated to significantly reduce the number of expected tractor-trailers during the closure. This proactive measure is intended to mitigate detoured truck traffic through the Jefferson Heights neighborhood.
Wilcox Blvd at N Holtzclaw Ave
On Friday, March 13th from 8:30 AM until 4:30 PM, the right eastbound lane of Wilcox Blvd between Riverside Drive and N Holtzclaw Ave will be closed while crews perform a geophysical survey on the east abutment.
Old Lee Hwy / Bonnie Oaks Lane Closures at I-75
Beginning Tuesday, March 3rd and estimated to last for eight months, the following will be closed as part of TDOT’s Hamilton Place Improvement Project:
The dedicated left turn lanes onto I-75 southbound from Old Lee Hwy/Bonnie Oaks westbound will be reduced to a single turn lane.
The lane reduction will maintain access onto I-75 southbound, but capacity will be reduced by half. This could result in additional traffic and delays during the morning commute on Jenkins Road (northbound turning onto Old Lee Hwy) and Old Lee Hwy southbound.
City signal engineers are actively working with TDOT to adjust traffic light timings to limit delays and will continue to monitor the affected intersections.
