Memphis residents and commuters should brace for some travel disruptions early next week. According to a press release from the City of Memphis, a section of South Second Street will be entirely off-limits to through traffic starting next Monday, June 2. The road closure, which will take place between Union Avenue and Monroe Avenue, will facilitate the positioning of a crane needed to install new water source chillers atop the Holiday Inn at 160 Union Avenue.
The road is expected to be closed from approximately 6:00 AM on June 2 until 6:00 AM the following day. A signed detour will reroute drivers via Monroe Avenue, South Front Street, and Union Avenue. Superior Traffic Control is tasked with managing the traffic alterations during this period, as per the details provided in the city's announcement.
For those requiring more information or who may have concerns about the impact of the closure on their daily commute, Rick Thornton of Barnhart Crane & Rigging Co. is the contact person. Thornton, reachable at 901-270-1231, can provide additional insights into the project's schedule and the scope of the traffic control measures in place.
