Memphis drivers, take note: Macon Road will temporarily shut down for a stretch this month. The closure will affect the area between Rocky Point Road and Sanga Road starting March 10 through March 31, as work commences on the Shelby Farms Greenline Extension Project. Rocky Point Road to Sanga Road is suggested as an alternate route for those needing to navigate the area. According to details released by the City of Memphis, commuters are advised to stay alert for detour signs guiding them around the construction zone.
The interruption is necessary to allow workers to continue the extension project that promises to enhance the city's green spaces and connectivity safely. Officials are urging drivers to effectively plan to detour around the affected area and expect some travel delays. If you're accustomed to traveling through this corridor, it might be a good idea to allow some extra time to get where you're going—or to completely avoid the construction area, if possible.
Keep an eye on the local traffic updates and remember to adjust your travel plans during this period duly.
