Motorists in Norman will need to adjust their routes as a section of 60th Avenue SE is closed for urgent repairs. The closure, just south of E. Lindsey Street, is due to a compromised culvert crossing that has necessitated immediate attention. For those living or patronizing businesses in the affected area between E. Lindsey and State Highway 9, entry will still be possible from the State Highway 9 end, according to the City of Norman.
The City of Norman has informed the public that materials required for the repair are on order and work will commence to surely restore full access as swiftly as possible. In the meantime, drivers are encouraged to find alternate routes to avoid any potential congestion or delay that could arise from the ongoing construction efforts. Although the timeline for completion has not been set in stone, updates will be disseminated through the city's webpage as developments occur.
Commuters and residents requiring more information or having specific inquiries have been directed to reach out to the Streets Division of the City of Norman. Official contact at 405-329-2524 is available for those seeking further guidance or looking to address concerns related to the detours and construction duration.
In the effort to maintain a semblance of normalcy for the community, the city has ensured that access to homes and businesses will not be drastically impacted. They have urged those needing to reach the section of 60th Avenue SE to please enter from State Highway 9. As crews work to safely repair the culvert crossing, patience from the public is greatly appreciated, and they promise to provide updates to rapidly inform all stakeholders, according to the same news.
