Traffic control for the reconstruction of south Vine Street project will change on Tuesday. During the next phase of construction, both northbound and southbound traffic on Vine Street between the U.S. 183 Bypass and Eighth Street will be carried on the new pavement in the center of Vine Street, one-lane in each direction.
The intersection of Old Highway 40 and Vine will reopen to westbound traffic and will be open to all traffic movements. Due to construction in the northeast corner of the intersection of Eighth and Vine streets, westbound Eighth Street will be closed east of Vine. East Eighth Street will remain open to local traffic, but westbound through traffic will use the Old Highway 40 Bypass.
North of Eighth Street, traffic will remain one lane in each direction in the outside lanes, while the inside lanes are still being reconstructed. Access to all businesses will remain open but may be restricted at times as temporary entrances are constructed.
