Martinsburg street to be closed for approximately 30 days with detour in place

MARTINSBURG, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A Martinsburg street will soon close for approximately 30 days.

According to the City of Martinsburg, on Monday, April 29, 2024, W. King Street is scheduled for closure and a detour will be in place for approximately 30 days, weather dependent, from S. Tuskegee to S. Tennessee Avenue.

This closure is to allow for major utility work and infrastructure replacement work from Elijah Street to Valley Avenue (underground utilities, sidewalks, repaving, etc) serving the Interwoven redevelopment project, according to the city.

“We certainly realize the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. With the extensive amount of work, excavation and equipment required to perform the work, it is not safely possible to keep one lane open,” the city said in a statement.

The detour will be posted with signage.
