Valdosta PR 1 August 2013,

Portion of Williams Street Closed for Improvements and Expansion of Azalea Trail,

On Monday, August 5, the City of Valdosta will begin construction on
the Williams Street Improvements Project. The project, which spans
from Ashley Street to Park Avenue, will include the reconstruction
of the Williams Street centerline, new curbs and gutters at various
locations, minor storm drainage repairs and a new asphalt surface.

The project also features the construction of a 10-foot wide
sidewalk that will tie into the existing 2.7 mile Azalea Trail,
which currently stretches from the Vallotton Youth Complex to the
Craig Center on Gordon Street. This multi-purpose trail will soon
after be extended to Woodrow Wilson Drive, providing additional
recreational opportunities and a safe route for citizens traveling
to the South Georgia Regional Library.

During the construction, sections of Williams Street will be closed
to the traveling public. Williams Street residents will continue to
have access to their properties but are urged to use caution around
the construction zones, especially during the extension of existing
driveways to the new curb and gutter. Residents are also advised to
locate and mark all sprinkler heads to avoid any damage to their
irrigation systems.

Access to the stadium and parking availability near the stadium are
not expected to be affected during the upcoming football season, as
the construction will have moved past this area.

The construction is expected to take approximately 90 days to
complete. Motorists are urged to adhere to all traffic barricades
and construction signs for their safety and the safety of workers.
