On February 4, 2024, the 700 block of N. Henry Street in our city will experience a temporary closure, lasting from 12:01 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. This closure is essential to facilitate sidewalk and road work, and will be carried out by W.O. Grubb Crane Rental.

The closure is necessary to dismantle the tower crane located at 701 N. Henry Street, as part of ongoing land development and residential construction projects. In order to safely place cranes and trucks in the roadway, the 700 block of N. Henry Street between Madison Street and Wythe Street will be closed off for the duration of the work.

During the scheduled work hours, parking will be restricted along this block. However, efforts will be made to minimize noise levels during the early morning hours to minimize disruption to nearby residents.

To ensure smooth traffic flow, all southbound traffic on N. Henry Street will be redirected to eastbound and westbound Madison Street. Those on eastbound Madison Street will be directed to N. Washington Street, then Wythe Street, and finally back to N. Henry Street. Westbound Madison Street traffic will be diverted to N. Fayette Street, then Wythe Street, and back to N. Henry Street.

In order to inform the public about this closure, a variable message board has been placed at the intersection of N. Henry Street and First Street, providing advanced notice. Additionally, notices have been distributed to the surrounding neighborhoods to ensure residents are aware of the upcoming closure.

For any questions or concerns regarding this closure, individuals are encouraged to contact Alex311, who will be able to provide further assistance.
