Olive Road Lane Closure Begins Today

Olive Road will experience short-term lane closures beginning Monday, Aug. 19.

A portion of Olive Road between Hendrix Avenue and Boyd Avenue will be closed to through traffic. Traffic heading eastbound on Olive Road will be detoured to Boyd Avenue, around the south intersection of Beagles Street and Boyd Avenue, onto Hendrix Avenue, north to Olive Road. Westbound traffic will be detoured along Olive Road to Hendrix Avenue, south to Beagles Street, onto Boyd Avenue, back to Olive Road. 

Intermittent lane closures on Olive Road are necessary to install a new 24-inch storm drain for upgrades in the Olive Road Multi-Lane Reconstruction and Drainage Project Phase 2.

The roadway closure is expected to remain in effect for five days and every effort will be made to expedite construction efforts to reopen the road on or before Friday, Aug. 23 at 5 p.m. 

If other lane or roadway closures are necessary beyond the anticipated time period, another notice will be issued.
