Marksheffel Road overnight closures postponed

The overnight closures of Marksheffel Road, from south of Tarren Heights to north of Stetson Hills Boulevard, originally scheduled for this week to complete drainage work, have been postponed due to forecasted weather conditions.

The closures are now anticipated to take place in mid-February. Additional information will be provided closer to the start of the work.

On Monday, Jan. 26, flaggers will alternate traffic through a single lane on Marksheffel Road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to sawcut pavement at several locations between Tarren Heights and Stetson Hills Boulevard in preparation for the future drainage work. Extra caution is advised while traveling through the work zone. This work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change.

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.
