Section of SW Murray Road Set to Close to Through Traffic on Oct. 3

Section of SW Murray Road Set to Close to Through Traffic on Oct. 3

A section of SW Murray Road from SW 3rd Street to SW Longview Road is set to close to through traffic on Tuesday, Oct. 3, and will remain closed for approximately thirty days, weather permitting. There will be a hard closure of SW Murray Road from SW 3rd Street to SW 5th Street. The detour route for this closure is SW Pryor Road, SW Longview Road and SW Ward Road. 

The closure is necessary for sanitary sewer work associated with the McClendon Ditch project, which will provide sanitary sewer upgrades to the interceptor within the Cedar Creek watershed that serves the internal core of the city. The improvements will increase the conveyance of the sewer to meet current and future needs. For more information, please contact the City’s Public Works Department at 816-969-1800 or publicworks@cityofls.net.
