On Saturday, May 21 from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., workers plan to temporarily close both southbound and northbound O’Neal Lane between South Harrell’s Ferry Road and George O’Neal Road as part of a Green Light Plan project to widen the roadway.

The short-term closure is necessary for drainage construction to occur as part of the O’Neal Lane roadway construction project.  Plans call for the road to reopen to the traveling public the same day at 3 p.m., weather permitting.

Motorists should plan to use South Harrell’s Ferry Road, Jones Creek Road, and George O’Neal Road as primary detour routes during the temporary closure period.

Message signs warning of the closure will be posted near the closure area, and motorists should exercise caution when traveling in the vicinity.  Travel times may be affected, and motorists are encouraged to factor in potential delays when traveling in the area this Saturday.

When complete, the O’Neal Lane – Segment 1 project will add two additional through lanes, sidewalks and a raised median from a point south of the South Harrell’s Ferry Road Intersection to 1,250 feet south of Interstate 12.
