On Thursday, September 25th several streets will be closed around the intersection of 8th and Lamar. A recent car crash broke a utility pole at ground level. Unfortunately, this pole is a major provider for electrical lines, phone lines and cable lines. All three utilities are working to coordinate the repair so all can take place in one day.
Beginning around 7:30 AM, 8th SE will be closed to northbound traffic at the intersection of Clarksville Street. 8th NE will be closed to southbound traffic at E. Houston Street. Westbound traffic on Lamar Avenue will be reduced down to one lane with no turning onto 8th Street at and through the intersection.
The repairs are expected to last most of the day.
