Utility work is continuing along the levee as part of the Second Avenue reconstruction project.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation:
Beginning Thursday, weather permitting, the right eastbound lane of Second Avenue will be closed from near Turner McCall Boulevard to West Fifth Street.
The lane closure will continue from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday each week until February 29.
The entire project, once finished, two lanes will run in each direction separated by a median that allows for turn lanes into the Atrium Health Floyd campus and Heritage Park.
The split in the road at the intersection will be eliminated. Traffic from downtown will be directed to Martha Berry Boulevard or to turn lanes for Turner McCall or Shorter Avenue.
The estimated completion date of September 29, 2026, and the cost of the project is $26.2 million.
