Dogwood South Lane Open for Traffic

Dogwood South Lane is now open to regular traffic as the work on the White Oak Ditch project is almost complete.

The roadway opened yesterday after the concrete work over the box culverts was completed. Contractors closed Dogwood South Lane on Tuesday, May 28, to replace the deteriorating metal culverts under the street with more resilient concrete ones.

District 8 Police Juror Doug Rimmer is happy the roadway is now open just in time for the beginning of the school year. “This completion not only solves the chronic drainage problems in the Dogwood South neighborhood, but it will also help with traffic flow before the beginning of the school,” Rimmer said.

Officials are asking residents to drive cautiously through the still active work zone while the contractor completes some general site clean-up work and a few minor items.
