Drivers in Johnson City can expect a slight change in their commute as Water and Sewer Services gear up to install a water tap near Skyline Drive. The work, planned for 904 North State of Franklin Road, will enforce a lane shift on Tuesday, Dec. 16, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., according to the City of Johnson City.
It is a straightforward shuffle of traffic flow intended to last only as long as it takes to complete the job. Motorists might be wise to plan around these hours to avoid delays. The City of Johnson City has advised that while commuters can still pass through, they should be prepared to possibly slow down and adhere to modified traffic patterns.
As per the recent notice from Johnson City's official website, "Motorists are asked to observe all posted signage and to avoid the construction area." Those who cannot detour will need to budget extra travel time. Moreover, while negotiating the construction zone, extra caution is imperative along with strict adherence to the lowered speed limits.
