The City of McAlester announced that Washington Street will close at 9 a.m. Thursday on the east side of Fourteenth Street. The closure is expected to last through Tuesday, Jan. 7.
This is part of the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Project 10, as contractors install pipe across the road from Oklahoma Vet Med to the cemetery. The work will allow for a future tie-in.
Washington Street will be closed to all traffic to Tandy Town, with local traffic permitted only to the Red Seal Feed Mill from the Tandy Town side. Traffic from North Thirteenth Street will be detoured onto Fourteenth Street to Carl Albert Parkway.
Motorists will not be allowed to use the Vet Med driveway or the cemetery to access Tandy Town.
