Road partially closed for asphalt repairs
Special to The Oak Ridger
Oak Ridge Public Works crews want drivers to be aware of intermittent lane closures set for today on East Division Road between the entrance to Zaxby’s and the intersection with Oak Ridge Turnpike.
Crews will be conducting asphalt replacement work and will need to close north and southbound lanes of East Division Road, meaning drivers will not be able to turn onto or out of East Division Road onto the Turnpike. Drivers attempting to access Zaxby’s restaurant will need to enter from Oak Ridge Turnpike.
This work was set to have started Wednesday and continue today, weather-permitting, from 8 a.m. until about 4 p.m.
