The intersection of South Lamar and Azalea Drive will be closed on Thursday to allow for re-paving of South Lamar. The closure will also affect Office Park Drive.

The construction work is part of a project to signalize and re-align the intersection to provide a better traffic flow and increase safety at the intersection.

Work on the road will not begin until after the morning rush hour traffic to avoid any conflicts with school traffic. Once work begins there will be flagmen present and motorists using South Lamar should expect delays throughout the day.

The city did not announce an exact time for work to be completed but the closure is expected to last one day.
