Portion of Gay Street Closed for Crane on Sunday, Feb. 8

Posted: 02/05/2015
Downtown motorists take note: A section of South Gay Street from Union Avenue to Clinch Avenue will be closed to traffic from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 8, for the placement and operation of a large crane. 

Union Avenue will also be closed between Market Street and Gay Street. Market Street and Strong Alley between Union and Clinch avenues will periodically be closed while the crane is in use 

The 450-ton crane will be removing an old telecommunications shelter from the roof of the Conley Building at 507 S. Gay St. 

Sidewalk sections of the street will be briefly closed only while the crane is lifting the shelter. 

Traffic detours will be posted.
