Route 26 Alternate Routes – During Lane Closure Times

Written on: July 24th, 2014 in Route 26

As a reminder, lane closure times have changed and construction activities involving a lane closure will begin on Sunday nights at 10:30 p.m. and conclude on Monday morning at 07:00 a.m.  Additionally, Monday night through Friday morning, construction activities involving a lane closure will begin  at 8:00 p.m. and conclude on at 07:00 a.m. the following morning.

During these times, travel to and from your destination may be quicker if you use one of the Route 26 Alternate Routes that were constructed prior to the start of the Route 26 Mainline Construction Project.  The recently reconstructed roadways include:

Burbage Road, from Route 17 to Windmill Drive
