Multiple Highways and Transit Projects Face Closures

A major phase of MARTA’s $230 million Five Points Transformation begins Monday, Oct. 13, closing the Peachtree Street entrance and the federal tunnel so customers must use Forsyth Street while crews install scaffolding and remove the concrete canopy as part of a multi‑phase rebuild funded largely by the More MARTA sales tax and federal/state grants, including a $25 million RAISE grant. In Lakewood, New Jersey, Cross Street will be closed and detoured from Prospect Street to Faraday Avenue beginning Tuesday for a railroad crossing and approach replacement through Oct. 14. All lanes of I‑77 near mile marker 63 in Fayette County, West Virginia, were temporarily closed after a pedestrian was struck but have since reopened. In Jacksonville, the Florida Department of Transportation said all northbound lanes of the Main Street Bridge will reopen by 6 a.m. Monday, Oct. 6, following mid‑September closures for electrical repairs after a tugboat collision, though crews plan a full Saturday closure and intermittent northbound closures as they complete the $2.1 million repair project expected to finish in fall 2025. In Western New York, ramps from I‑190 to the Lewiston‑Queenston and Peace Bridges have begun to clear and reopen after a Canada Border Services Agency computer glitch forced a shutdown of incoming commercial traffic, prompting diversions, staging, extra state patrols, and traveler advisories.
