Memphis city officials have announced a tactical move in their fight against the blight of illegal dumping, involving the closure of E Levi Road. According to the City's official website, the section to be sealed off is just east of the Will Caruthers parking lot entrance and north of E Levi Rd on Sedgwick, slated for a 90-day shutdown beginning this Friday, September 6.
The uptick in unlawful trash disposal forced the city's hand. The road will be closed to stymy further waste being strewn in the vicinity and to facilitate cleanup measures. Surveillance measures, including cameras, will bolster the city’s crusade against the dumping during the closure period, officials have detailed.
Accompanying the announcement is a detour map for those affected by the closure. Motorists and area businesses are being called on by the city of Memphis to abide the newly imposed measures. The city further implores locals to remain vigilant and report any suspicious dumping activity to the authorities.
Full details on the closure and detour information can be found on the City of Memphis' official website. Citizens are urged to consult the map to navigate the upcoming changes to their daily routes and to enable a smoother transition during the interim crackdown on illegal dumping.
