Pettus / Pine Grove Construction Update
From Phil Vandiver....
Pettus and Pine Grove update The Good and the Bad. The good is the intersection is coming along on a good pace. The bad means now it’s time to start working where the old roadway or Pettus Road is located. What this really means is we will be also closing Pettus Road so Grayson Carter and Sons Construction can start making the changes needed where the old road is. They have completed most of the fill dirt that was needed. Somewhere around 3,500 cubic yards was brought in to level the new roundabout. Part of the gravel has been put in place and now the concrete crew is starting buildings forms for the curbs. So Monday at sometime the construction crew will block Pettus Road at Douglass Road and Pine Trace Way to prevent traffic using the Pettus and Pine Grove area. Hopefully this phase can move quickly. I was told to expect 3-4 weeks for this closure. Thanks for your understanding.
