Construction continues on Greene, Fifth, Sixth and 13th streets in downtown Augusta resulting in detours and lane closures.
Work is ongoing on Greene between Third Street and East Boundary. The westbound lane of Greene toward downtown will be closed between First and Second streets for the next two weeks, according to a city news release.
Fifth Street between Reynolds and Broad streets will remain closed for the next few weeks, the city said Sept. 27. Motorists can also expect roaming outside lane closures on Fifth between Broad and Greene streets.
On Sixth Street, drivers will encounter outside lane closures on both sides of the street between Greene Street and the Walton Way overpass.
The 13th Street bridge over the Augusta Canal near Telfair Street will remain closed for the next several months while the bridge and canal walls are repaired. Motorists should take an alternate route.
Work started earlier this year on Fifth, Sixth, Greene and Telfair streets in downtown road projects funded by the 1% Transportation Investment Act sales tax.
Construction of the the Broad Street portion of the downtown streetscape projects is expected to begin by the end of the year and continue through 2026.
Ongoing road work on Walton Way in the medical district is not a city job but a Georgia Power utility project.
