There will be two road closures in Evans due to the Public Safety and Preparedness Event on Saturday.

Antebellum Way will be closed from 8 p.m. on Friday, April 19 to midnight on Saturday, April 20. The road will be closed to all traffic. 

Evans Town Center Boulevard from Ronald Regan Drive to Antebellum Way will be closed from 6 a.m. on Saturday, April 20 to midnight. 

According to the press release, the road closures are to “reduce pedestrian/vehicle conflicts for the Event.  Pedestrian traffic is expected to be extremely high in that area, as well as the areas surrounding Evans Towne Center Park, especially during ingress and egress times. When driving in this area please pay attention to your surroundings at all times, obey all traffic control devices unless instructed by Law Enforcement to do otherwise, and stay alert for pedestrians, especially children, darting out into the roadway unexpectedly. Pedestrians are asked to cross at marked mid-block pedestrian crosswalks and/or intersections with marked pedestrian crossings unless instructed differently by Law Enforcement.”

Drivers should find an alternate route during these times.
