Road Closures Coming to Charity Lane in Madison County
Attention all drivers and residents in Madison County! Get ready for some road closures on Charity Lane as Huntsville Utilities steps in to replace utility poles. The work will be taking place in a specific stretch located between Nix Road, Frank Patterson Road, and Loveless Road. Mark your calendars, because this project is set to kick off on Monday, April 14.
Project Schedule and Hours
Now, here’s what you need to know about the timing of these closures. The work will be happening on Monday, April 14, and will run daily from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. These closures will last until Thursday, April 17. However, don’t pack away your detour plans just yet, since the work will pause over the weekend and then resume on Monday, April 21 until Thursday, April 24.
Driving Around
During the specified hours each day, both lanes of Charity Lane will be completely blocked off. Yes, you read that right—both lanes! Therefore, it would be a good idea for drivers to consider alternate routes to avoid any inconvenience. Trust us, you won’t want to get caught in traffic while the workers are busy replacing those poles.
Keeping You Informed
But don’t worry! Detour signs will be strategically placed around the area to help manage the traffic flow. The last thing anyone wants is to feel lost while trying to navigate detours, so these signs should come in handy.
Residents, Take Note!
If you happen to live along the stretch of Charity Lane that will be closed off, you’ll still have access to your property during the construction. So while the work goes on around you, rest assured that you’ll still be able to get in and out of your driveway. It’s important to consider this if you have plans that require you to travel in and out of the area.
What Lies Ahead?
Currently, there’s no specific information regarding the total duration of the overall project once the 10 days are up, but it’s wise to keep those alternate routes in mind for the time being.
Stay Safe and Plan Ahead!
So, make sure to adjust your plans accordingly and keep safety at the forefront. Utility work is essential for the community, but it does come with its share of frustrations. Drive carefully, heed the detour signs, and consider your neighbors who might also be impacted by the closures. Everyone appreciates a thoughtful driver who’s willing to plan their trip wisely.
With these temporary road closures, let’s work together to ensure that the utility pole replacements go smoothly. Everyone in Madison County will appreciate the upgrades that come as a result of this work!
