Residents and commuters who regularly traverse Cedar Lane Road will need to seek alternative routes as upcoming pavement repairs are set to begin on Monday, July 14. According to the City of Norman's official announcement, the stretch of road between 24th Avenue SE and 36th Avenue SE will close to through traffic from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for asphalt patching operations. These repairs are anticipated to span a duration of 10 days, weather permitting.
The interruptions to the daily flow of vehicles are necessary to ensure a safer and smoothed driving experience moving forward. The city has planned meticulously to quickly execute the maintenance tasks and minimize the impact on local traffic. The timing of the closure is strategically set to avoid peak traffic hours, although it will still likely create an inconvenience for those accustomed to using this route during the day. Motorists are advised to plan to momentarily delay their usual commute path and be on the lookout for the provided Traffic Control devices which will be in place to direct the detours.
This section of Cedar Lane Road will re-open to traffic when construction activities are not in session. Residents should be prepared for the temporary adjustments and take note of daily closures which will inevitably affect adjacent streets. The city encourages drivers to exercise caution while navigating the detour routes and to remain patient as crews work to improve the road conditions.
