Alleys 41 & 29D Closure - Update

Alleys 41 and 29D in the Savannah Green subdivision continue to be closed for reconstruction due to unforeseen required utility adjustments.

The Town and its contractors are working closely with multiple utility companies to coordinate the adjustments. Updated information about timeframes will be provided as soon as they are available. Once the utilities adjustments are made, the underdrain system and paving of the alley will take approximately two weeks.

Thank you for your continued patience during these delays related to unforeseen circumstances. The Town and its contractors understand the inconveniences this work creates, and all are working diligently to complete the work as quickly as possible.
