Byrne/Hill to be shut for 8 days

7/31/2006

The intersection of Byrne Road and Hill Avenue will be closed for reconstruction for eight days, starting tomorrow at 9 a.m., the city transportation division announced.

Contrary to a previously reported plan, the intersection will be closed to all traffic during the reconstruction. No explanation was given for the change.

A posted detour will direct motorists to use Reynolds Road or Westwood Avenue instead between Airport Highway and Dorr Street. Another alternative is for motorists detouring to the south around the closed intersection to use South Avenue and Arco Drive.
