East Cedar Street closure between King College Rd and Florida Ave

Beginning Monday, January 11, 2021, a portion of East Cedar Street will be closed to traffic between the intersection with King College Rd and Florida avenue. This will be a prolonged closure estimated to last approximately 4 months.

The closure is necessary to safely complete major construction along this section of East Cedar Street, which will include the straightening of an “S” curve, the relocation of utilities, and grade work to improve the vertical road alignment. Arrangements have been made for residents within the construction zone to maintain access to their homes, but all other traffic will be diverted around the area. King University can be accessed via entrances on East State Street and King College Road.

Detours

When traveling westbound on King College Road toward East Cedar Street, motorists will be directed to continue along King College Road/East State Street toward downtown. When traveling eastbound on East Cedar Street, motorists will be directed to turn left on Florida Avenue, then follow Spruce Street to East State Street.
