Marksheffel Road, from south of Tarren Heights to north of Stetson Hills Boulevard, will close at 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 16 for drainage work. The road should reopen by 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 17.
Some construction noise is expected during the overnight operation.
Concurrently, crews will work overnight on Monday, Feb. 16, from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. to shift the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Marksheffel Road into a new traffic pattern. All traffic will be moved toward the center of the intersection to create work areas at each of the four corners for road construction and traffic signal installation. All traffic movements will remain available at the intersection.
Drivers should expect lane closures, flaggers, and uniformed traffic control during the overnight operation.
On Tuesday, Feb. 17, flaggers will alternate traffic through a single lane on Marksheffel Road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. while crews place asphalt over the pipe installed during the previous night. Extra caution is advised while traveling through the work zone.
The signed detour route will direct Marksheffel Road travelers to use Peterson Road, Dublin Boulevard and Stetson Hills Boulevard. Tarren Heights provides neighborhood access only and does not connect to other streets suitable for a detour. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and follow posted detour signs.
This work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change.
Improving the existing two-lane section of Marksheffel Road between North Carefree Circle and Dublin Boulevard is a City priority. Once corridor improvements are complete, Marksheffel Road will be two lanes in each direction with a center median, improved drainage, and new sidewalks and paths.
