Motorists traveling through central Killeen should be aware of temporary lane closures scheduled later this month as utility work takes place along Avenue G.

According to the City of Killeen, sections of the westbound lane of Avenue G between South 20th Street and North 10th Street will be closed from Monday, Nov. 16, through Wednesday, Nov. 25, between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily, excluding weekends. The schedule is weather permitting.

The closures are necessary to allow for gas infrastructure upgrades in the area.

During the project, contractors will implement a traffic control plan to guide vehicles safely around the work zone. Drivers are encouraged to use caution when traveling through the area, expect possible delays, and follow all posted traffic control devices and instructions from workers on site.

Residents and motorists seeking additional information may contact the City of Killeen Engineering Office at (254) 616-3172 or by email at engineering@killeentexas.gov.

City officials said they appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation while the improvements are completed.
