One lane of West High Street from Merino Street to Madison Place will be closed from Monday, Dec. 9 through Friday, Dec. 20 to install speed tables.
The lane closure will last for 24 hours/day. First, the right lane will be closed for approximately one week. When that lane reopens, the left lane will be closed. Additionally, Manchester Street at West High Street will be closed during this project. Manchester Street and the Central Bank Center garage can be accessed from Oliver Lewis Way.
This closure will allow construction of two speed tables on West High Street. One will be installed near Merino Street and the other near Madison Place. Two speed tables have already been installed on West High Street in front of Rupp Arena.
Speed tables are longer and flatter than speed bumps. They can be effective at slowing down drivers that go too fast. Through reduced speeds on this section of West High Street, overall roadway safety is expected to improve.
