Johnnie Dodds Closures This Weekend

Mount Pleasant Waterworks will be working on a sewer line repair that will affect traffic in the area of the Johnnie Dodds Boulevard Improvements Project as follows:

• Where: Johnnie Dodds Boulevard northbound on-ramp/frontage road, heading from Bowman Road toward I-526, (adjacent to McDonald’s restaurant) will be closed to all traffic
• When: between 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 2 and 6 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 5.
• Signs will direct drivers through detours at the construction location.
• The work is necessary for Mount Pleasant Waterworks to repair a 27-year-old sewer line under Johnnie Dodds Boulevard. It is estimated that the new repair will last 50 years.

Drivers traveling through the project’s construction zone are asked to be aware of equipment and crews working in the area at all times. Drivers are encouraged to go slow and allow additional time to reach their destinations safely.

Alternative routes are recommended if possible. The public is also asked to notice traffic control signs, reductions in speed limit and message board information, and to note that all road work is dependent on the weather.
