Tedder Road will experience short-term lane closures and detours beginning May 8, 2020. The emergency roadway closure is expected to remain in effect for approximately two weeks, and we will make every effort to expedite construction efforts to reopen the road before the Memorial Day weekend, May 22, 2020.
Construction will include stringing a 4-inch fire hose across Tedder Road to provide water from an existing fire hydrant on the south side of Tedder to an existing fire hydrant located on the Century Correctional Institute campus. The hose will be utilized to provide a temporary supply of water to the prison to supplement the existing supply from the Town of Century. The existing well is failing and water from the Town's other wells are not adequate to provide adequate water service.
Tedder Road between US Highway 29/SR 95/North Century Boulevard and the entrance driveway to the Century Correctional Institute will be closed to through traffic.Traffic will be detoured along Elsie Davis Road from US Highway 29/SR 95 and Tedder Road.
If other lane or roadway closures are necessary beyond the above-described time periods, another notice will be issued.
