Starting on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, residents and commuters in the area of Golf Course Rd. in our city will need to plan alternate routes due to a street closure. The closure is necessary to facilitate important utility improvements in the area.

During this time, traffic will be detoured through several neighboring streets to ensure a smooth flow of vehicles. The detour route will guide drivers through the following streets: Cottonwood Ave., Edwards St., Weatherford St., and Hamby Ave.

This temporary closure and detour plan have been established to guarantee the safety of both motorists and construction workers involved in the utility improvement project. The city has taken these measures to minimize disruptions and inconvenience to the public as much as possible.

Local authorities are urging residents and commuters to plan their routes accordingly and allow for extra travel time during the closure period. The detour signs will be prominently displayed to guide drivers along the alternate route. Motorists are advised to drive with caution, obey all traffic signs and signals, and be mindful of the increased traffic in the detour areas.
