Greenville residents should prepare to reroute their travels as major construction is set to temporarily close down the intersection of Dickinson Avenue and Moye Boulevard/Hooker Road. Starting on August 26, this busy junction will be off-limits, with hopes of reopening approximately seven weeks later, weather conditions playing a favorable hand.
The closure is necessary to allow upgrades to the waterline, drainage, sidewalk, and roadway to proceed uninterrupted. Those familiar with the route will need to adjust and plan to swiftly navigate around the area, using Memorial Drive and Arlington Boulevard as suggested detours. Access to Hooker Road during the construction phase won't be direct, but workable solutions are in place to minimize disruption.
According to a release posted on the North Carolina Department of Transportation website, the intersection's renovation is a collaborative effort with the city of Greenville. The project aims to enhance over a mile of Dickinson Avenue, with this intersection's seven-week closure marking a significant phase in the ongoing improvements.
Residents and businesses impacted by the construction are encouraged to stay informed by visiting the project's website for the most current updates. While the project may temporarily inconvenience local traffic, the goal is to significantly improve upon an infrastructure that anticipates the needs of Greenville's growing population.
