TRAFFIC ADVISORY

City Parish officials announced today that George O’Neal Road will be closed to through traffic just east of Jones Creek Road starting Nov. 6 at noon. The closure is part of an ongoing construction project. It will reopen Nov. 18 at 8 p.m.

Additionally, Coursey Boulevard at Jones Creek Road will be reopen on Nov. 6 at noon.

Drivers are encouraged to take an alternative route:

· The primary detour for the George O’Neal Road closure will be to and from Jones Creek Rd, Harrell’s Ferry Road, and O’Neal Lane.
· Access to local businesses will be maintained at all times.
· Jones Creek Road as well as Coursey Boulevard will remain open.

Advanced signage will be in place to direct detoured traffic around the closed section of the roadway. The closure will enable the construction of the Coursey Boulevard, Jones Creek Road and George O’Neal Road intersection improvements in a timely manner. It will reduce the construction of this portion of the intersection from several months to 12 days.
