The City of Oxford announced on Tuesday the beginning of a new traffic pattern for one of its intersections.

South Lamar and Azalea/Office Park Drive is completing its construction to make the intersection more efficient. The “exit” leg of Azalea Drive will be closed and all traffic will enter and exit Azalea Drive at the realigned intersection across from Office Park Drive.

Construction will continue at the intersection while a traffic signal is being installed. The signal installation is anticipated to be completed by mid-October. The construction project has been ongoing throughout the summer. Repaving of the realigned intersection began on Aug. 15.
