First Street Closure Postponed
Between Robert Drive and Red Cross Lane
Montgomery County (Friday, March 8, 2013) – The closure of First Street between Robert Drive and Red Cross Lane scheduled to begin Monday, March 4th has been postponed due to weather. This closure will now begin Friday, March 8th at 9 am. This will be a 24 hour a day closure. The affected section of First Street is scheduled to reopen to motorists in September of 2017.
This road closure is due to a contractor reconstructing this portion of First Street as part of the I-75 Modernization Project.
The official detour during this closure is: Salem Avenue/First Street to Robert Drive to Third Street to Wilkinson to First Street.
Arrow boards and signs will be in place prior to the work zone to alert motorists of the upcoming closure. All work is weather permitting.
