Fiber Optic Work to Cause Lane Closures in The CORE District’s Downtown Neighborhood 

The right lanes of northbound and southbound Greenville Avenue between Main Street and North Texas Street may be closed to traffic in various locations and in eight different phases, one phase at a time, from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. as fiber optic work takes place. The same project may also cause North Texas Street to become one lane with flaggers for the alternate movement of traffic, and a narrowing of Terrace Drive between Greenville Avenue and La Salle Drive, during the same hours. The work is expected to be completed by late April.
