Portions of roadways in northwest Enterprise will soon be closed as part of construction related to the new Veterans Home.
The Enterprise City Council Tuesday night approved a request to temporarily close a portion of Hickman Road and Dozier Road, just off State Road 51.“It is possible the temporary closures could expand in the future, but right now, these are roads that need to close for safety reasons associated with the Veterans Home project,” City Engineer/Public Works Director Barry Mott said at Tuesday night’s city council meeting.
Barricades will be put up on both sides of the roads, along with signage to alert drivers to the closures.
