Clarification on Forest Hill Ave. Closure
- Weather permitting, it begins tomorrow for about 60 days.
- Only the westbound lanes will be closed.
- Lanes will be closed from 8:30 – 4:00 (the press release says 7:30 but I’m going by the big sign on Forest Hill Avenue).
- Westbound buses will operate as normal, with a flashing police escort. Eastbound traffic and buses will not be affected.
- The closure affects the area from Roanoke Street, west to 47th Street.
I don’t see how eastbound lanes will be unaffected if westbound buses will have escorted access. To me, this means that they will need to periodically close eastbound lanes so that the westbound “escorted” bus traffic can proceed. What a mess…
About once every 45 minutes, according to GRTC, since it only covers the offpeak hours when the work is being performed.
If this morning was any indication, it’s going to close at 7:30.
I’m taking the long way to work.
