Beginning Monday, Feb. 24, the eastbound lane of 7th Avenue South, between 16th Street South and the east end of Volker Hall will close due to electrical work by Alabama Power Company. 7th Avenue South, between 14th and 16th streets south, will be reopened.

This closure will not affect the westbound lane of 7th Avenue South. Traffic headed north on 16th Street South must turn left on 7th Avenue South, toward 14th Street South.

The Volker Hall loading dock, on 7th Avenue South, will still be accessible to westbound traffic. Traffic exiting this area must turn right and travel east on 7th Avenue South, toward 18th Street South.

The project is expected to be complete in approximately two weeks. Please be aware of the impacted areas and plan accordingly.

This closure is part of underground electrical work by Alabama Power Co.
