SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — For those who have to be on the roads Friday, some lanes on two midtown Savannah streets will be closed a little longer for maintenance.
The City of Savannah began performing sanitary sewer and maintenance hole repairs overnight Thursday, June 1 on DeRenne Avenue and Abercorn Street. The maintenance was originally set to conclude by Friday morning but has been delayed due to an equipment failure.
The repairs closed the northern eastbound lane of DeRenne Avenue and the DeRenne Avenue eastbound turning lane onto Abercorn Street. The project also includes the closure of the two western lanes of southbound Abercorn Street along with the northbound Abercorn Street inside turning lane onto westbound Derenne Avenue.
City officials say the goal is to reopen the road before rush hour traffic Friday.
