Scheduled Road Closure on Old 441 in Clayton

The portion of Old 441 from Saber Lane to Leaning Chimney Drive in Clayton will be closed for a culvert repair beginning July 11.  City of Clayton Public Works Director Jason Waldroup says this culvert repair is part of a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) project for damage that was created in the area from severe storms during March 2021.  “This is the FEMA project.  It’s been going on for a while, we’ve had issues getting material.  We’ve finally git material for the project and got the contractor lined up.  We had a little difficulty trying to get this project scheduled due to the lack of materials and the holiday schedule because around the 4th of July and Memorial Day traffic is very heavy and we want to try to not disrupt as many people as we can.  We’re starting on Monday, July 11, and the road will be closed.  Hopefully, we’ll be done and have it open by the following Monday, July 18.  So, if people could really avoid that area or try to use the detour, they should go around Summit Boulevard, Clayton Avenue, Dunlap, that way or either around the new road through Bethel, that it would be much appreciated to try to avoid that area if you can.  Also, be very mindful that there is construction out there and people will be out there, so reduce speeds.”  The road is scheduled to reopen on July 19, weather permitting.
