DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — According to the City of Dothan, work on the Main Street and Oates Street Intersection Improvement Project is continuing on schedule, with several lane closures planned this week.
Construction began Sept. 21. The city said all four foundations for the new traffic signal poles have been installed.
The project includes a new traffic signal and pedestrian improvements. Construction is expected to take about six weeks, with daytime lane closures generally taking place Monday through Thursday between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
On Monday, Oct. 5, the outside westbound lane of Main Street will temporarily close for additional hydro excavation of utilities. The lane will reopen once that work is complete.
From Tuesday, Oct. 6, through Thursday, Oct. 8, the outside eastbound lane of Main Street will be closed from the public parking area west of Oates Street to just east of the intersection.
The outside northbound lane of Oates Street will also be closed from north of Crawford Street to Main Street while crews install new traffic signal poles.
Traffic will be directed with portable message boards, arrow boards and signs.
All commercial truck traffic should use Ross Clark Circle.
Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes, expect delays and use caution while traveling through the area.
Additional lane closure updates are expected as the project continues.
