South Donahue Drive
South Donahue Drive will be closed to thru traffic at Longleaf Drive on Monday, May 21 and Tuesday, May 22 while construction crews install a new storm water utility underneath Donahue Drive. The road is expected to reopen by the end of the day on Tuesday. Construction on the Donahue Drive Project is expected to continue through Friday, June 8 from 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. each day and may warrant brief road closures during that time. Barricades will be in place to alert motorists of any closure. Motorists may use Longleaf Drive to get around the construction area. Residents beyond the barricade should use a detour through Ferndale Drive, off of East University Drive. Every attempt will be made to notify the public at least 24 hours in advance of any road closure. [Press Release]
