Once again, law enforcement officers are gearing up for several busy travel days. They want to remind you of dangerous road conditions and to buckle up.
After WTVM News Leader 9 reported on what many drivers called a “large” pothole at the railroad tracks between Veterans Pkwy. and 9th St. in Columbus, it seems something is being done to address it.
Due to utility construction, 4th Avenue will be closed to through traffic between 16th Street and 20th Street from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.
The right lane closure will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily through July 31 along US 80/ GA-22 (JR Allen Parkway) from the Alabama State line to the Georgia 85 intersection.
If you often travel along J.R. Allen Pkwy., you may see some changes while the Georgia Department of Transportation is working on a new project to help keep your daily commutes smoother and safer.
The lane is being closed to collect data for a project designed to help researchers develop innovative materials that will reduce the cost of maintaining safe and sustainable roads.
The construction project will take place on West Glenn Avenue March 11th-15th. The westbound lane will be closed and traffic will be routed using the center turn lane.
