Heads up, Johnson City drivers: Construction is set to begin on South Roan Street, which could impact your daily commute. Starting today, Johnson City Public Works will commence milling and paving work on a stretch of South Roan Street extending from Buffalo Street to Quarry Road, as reported by the City of Johnson. This construction activity will necessitate temporary lane closures from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, potentially causing slowdowns and rerouted traffic.
The work scheduled for this busy thoroughfare is critical for maintaining infrastructure, but it comes with a caveat for drivers who frequent this route – expect delays. Commuters are advised to exhibit extra caution when navigating through the construction zone, keeping in mind the reduced speed limits that seek to protect both the motorists and the onsite workers. Despite the inconvenience, safety remains paramount during this period, the City of Johnson emphasized.
The estimated timeline for completion of the paving work has been set for Friday, Oct. 25, according to the City of Johnson. However, this comes with the stipulation that the schedule might be extended if necessary to accommodate any additional related work that may arise mid-project.
