Mayor Lee Posey announces that, weather permitting, pavement patching and overlay work will begin this week on Royal Street, from its intersection with East Fifth Street to its intersection with Melrose Avenue.

One-lane, two-way traffic will be maintained while this work in ongoing, but motorists can expect delays. Therefore, alternate routes should be considered during this time.

This work is being performed by Regional Construction LLC as part of the City’s current Street Rehabilitation project.

For more information, please contact the Mayor’s Office at (318) 352-2772.
