Southbound Left Turn Closed At Third & Wilson

wilson_ave_project

A southbound left turn closure at the intersection of Third Street and Wilson Avenue will start on December 8. The closure is necessitated by a technical issue with the traffic signal and is a proactive measure to preserve the overall function and efficiency of the signal system.

During the closure, motorists are advised to follow the designated detour route designed to minimize disruptions and facilitate smooth traffic flow. Vehicles will be rerouted south on Third Street, east on Reed Market Road and then north on Ninth Street.

Local access and emergency services will be maintained.

The southbound left turn closure is expected to be in effect through June 2024.
