Robins drivers will be experiencing a few more road construction projects in the coming months.


The first of several paving projects will involve milling and paving on Page Road beginning Monday. The construction will extend from Page Road to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Eleventh Street. The project is scheduled to last about three weeks.


The project will be divided into segments and phased; the only segment of Page Road that will be closed is the end that intersects Eleventh Street. During that time, be on the lookout for flag men, lane changes and detours. The MLK gate will maintain its current hours.


Congestion can be expected, so it's recommended that motorists use Robins Parkway. Watson, Russell and Green Street gates will not be impacted.


Beginning Nov. 15, Macon Street will be closed from Seventh Street to Ninth Street. This road will be closed for one week. Traffic will be rerouted using Ninth Street. Access to the base clinic, dormitories and dining facility will remain accessible.


On Nov. 18, a portion of Beale Drive from the 'cattle guard' to 100 yards south of Bldg. 9 will be closed for three weeks. Traffic will be rerouted to Perimeter Road at the north end of the runway. During that time, only the outbound right turn at the Air National Guard gate will be open Mondays through Fridays, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.


Resurfacing pavement at the MLK Gate (inbound lane will be closed) will take place beginning Jan. 6. The pavement and sub-base will be removed and replaced in order to repair failing pavement. This will take two months to complete. The MLK outbound lane will be open Mondays through Fridays, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.; ANG gate will open Mondays through Fridays, 6 to 8 a.m., outbound right turn only until project completion.

Editor's note: These projects are tentatively scheduled, and are subject to change which can be impacted by inclement weather and unforeseen site conditions. Pedestrians, vehicles and motorcycles should be aware of uneven surfaces. Remember to use caution while driving near these areas.
