Two sections of Marksheffel Road between Dublin Boulevard and Stetson Hills Boulevard will close during the overnight hours on Thursday and Friday, as well as through the daylight hours on Saturday.
The closures are necessary to complete drainage improvements and change traffic patterns. Scheduling these closures during periods of lower traffic volume allows crews to perform the work as safely and efficiently as possible. It also minimizes disruptions. Some construction noise is expected during overnight operations.
- Thursday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. - Friday, Feb. 27 at 5:30 a.m.
- Marksheffel Road, from north of Tarren Heights to south of Dublin Boulevard, will close overnight. When Marksheffel Road reopens, Ryker Peak will also open to traffic.
- Friday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. - Saturday, Feb. 28 at 5:00 p.m.
- Marksheffel Road, from north of Stetson Hills Boulevard to south of Ryker Peak, will close for 22 hours. When the road reopens, a new traffic pattern will be in place on Marksheffel Road from Tarren Heights to Stetson Hills Boulevard. Tarren Heights will stay open for now.
- Detour route
- The signed detour route will direct Marksheffel Road travelers to use Peterson Road, Dublin Boulevard and Stetson Hills Boulevard. Tarren Heights and Ryker Peak provide neighborhood access only and do not connect to other streets suitable for a detour. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and follow posted detour signs.

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.
