Columbia County, in cooperation with Beam’s Construction, wishes to inform the driving public of upcoming road closures and detours on River Island Parkway. The closure will be due to crews rehabilitating and resurfacing River Island Parkway, beginning at the entrance off Blackstone Camp Road to just before 1538 River Island Parkway (approximately 2,500 feet). The work will begin on Wednesday, November 2, 2022 and continue through Wednesday, November 9, 2022 (Saturday and Sunday excluded). Crews will work from 7 am- 7pm each work day. Please turn off sprinklers during these times. During these work times the following detour routes should be used:
• Day 1 | Wednesday, November 2 (7am-7pm): The entrance to River Island Parkway off of Blackstone Camp Road will be completely closed. All traffic will need to enter and exit the subdivision using Brant Drive off of Blackstone Camp Road (See Attached Map – Day 1 Detour).
• Days 2-5 | Thursday, November 3 thru Wednesday, November 9 (7am-7pm, Saturday and Sunday excluded): The exiting lane of River Island Parkway to Blackstone Camp Road will remain open but the entrance lane off of Blackstone Camp Road will be closed. To enter the subdivision, drivers will need to continue to use Brant Drive off of Blackstone Camp Road (See Attached Map – Days 2-5 Detour).
The contractor will do their best to minimize traffic issues and delays; however, please expect the following:
• Driveways will be blocked at times due to milling, base reclamation, and paving activities. They will work as quickly as possible for access to driveways.
• During the cleaning process an Industrial Air Blower will be utilized to clean the roadway (expect dust).
• Please do not park in the roadway during the listed dates and times. Vehicles left in roadway will be towed at owners’ expense.
Thank You for your cooperation.
Whenever you approach a work zone: slow down; allow extra distance between vehicles; watch for advanced warning signs; obey road crew flaggers; and expect the unexpected. If possible, please plan to take an alternate route and/or allow additional time for commuting during this timeframe.
