Long-Term Closure of Holly Springs Road

Holly Springs Road is closed to traffic between Johnston Road and Smith Road. Detours around the closure are be posted. It is expected to reopen once construction is complete in the late fall.

The Road Department released a map of the detour as well as how to get to Catfish Country.

Contractors are beginning the last phases of construction on the massive road project. Holly Springs Road had been kept open while crews built five new bridges and sections of elevated roadway. Crews must now close the current road to finish construction.

Construction began in 2020 on the 2.6 mile stretch of Holly Springs Road which has endured flooding problems for years. The new bridges and elevated roadway are expected to keep the road from flooding.

Holly Springs Road will reopen when construction is complete, which is expected to be in late fall.
