Portion of Bragg Avenue to Close May 1 & 2

Auburn, Ala. - The City of Auburn received notice from Alabama Power Company that the portion of Bragg Avenue from Donahue Drive to White Street will be closed on Thursday and Friday, May 1 & 2. Work will begin at 9 a.m. Alabama Power Company crews will be relocating power poles and transmission lines. Company officials have agreed to begin work after the morning rush in an effort to assist with traffic during the morning commute. The road is expected to re-open each day by 5 p.m.

This work is associated with the AL Highway 14 realignment, which includes widening Donahue Drive from Glenn Avenue to Bragg Avenue and re-routing Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive to align with Bragg Avenue. Improvements will also be made at the intersection of Glenn Avenue and Donahue Drive to add protected left turn movements.

Citizens are encouraged to visit the City of Auburn's website at www.auburnalabama.org to view the latest news on street closings so they may adjust their routes accordingly.
