JACKSON – A portion of Whitesville Road will be closed for about a month while repair work is done, officials said.
The work is expected to begin on November 18 at 9 a.m. It will last about 30 days, but that could vary based on weather or other factors.
The road will not be usable. For those who have to use it for emergencies or bus stops, guides were provided by officials.
For access to Calendula Drive and Cannon Boulevard, the only way will be from East Veterans Highway. This also includes residents from 26-76 Whitesville Road.
If you live on Cannon Boulevard, you can get there from Cannon, or a new temporary roadway that is being built through new construction adjacent to Cannon. Emergency vehicles will be able to use this temporary roadway as well.
To get to Grawtown Road, use the direct access from East Veterans Highway, or access will still be available from South Hope Chapel Road.
Denton Lane will only be accessible from the South Hope Chapel Road side.
Residences from 79 Whitesville to 300 Whitesville will only be accessible from South Hope Chapel Road.
Road closure signs will be posted at both ends of Whitesville Road. Officers will be posted near Calendula and Grawtown each day to help drivers. A detour will be set up for drivers to take East Veterans to South Hope Chapel, or South Hope Chapel to East Veterans.
A to Z Contractors will be performing the roadwork.
