North West Safeguards Daytime Access During Work

Hillfoot Avenue in Hunts Cross closes nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. for five nights starting March 9

Hillfoot Avenue Closes Nights for Road Work

Drivers using Hillfoot Avenue in Hunts Cross will need to find alternate routes during overnight hours starting next week. The road closes for five consecutive nights beginning Monday, March 9, 2026, transit officials said. Closures will run from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night, with the road reopening during daytime hours.

Overnight Closures Allow Daytime Access

The overnight closure schedule is designed to minimize disruption to commuters and residents who rely on the route during peak travel times, according to the transit agency. By restricting work to nighttime hours, officials said they're aiming to keep the road accessible when traffic volumes are highest. Officials didn't specify what type of road work necessitates the closure or whether it's part of a larger infrastructure project in the area. Transit agencies typically schedule overnight closures for maintenance work that can't be completed safely with traffic present.

Five-Night Closure Period Planned

The closure will affect Hillfoot Avenue for five consecutive nights, with work scheduled to conclude by the morning of Saturday, March 14, officials said. Each night's closure begins at 8 p.m. and ends at 5 a.m. the following morning. Officials haven't released details about the specific nature of the work being performed or whether weather conditions could extend the timeline. The agency didn't provide information about which contractor is performing the work or the estimated cost of the project.

Work Begins Monday Evening

The first closure takes effect Monday evening, March 9, at 8 p.m., with the road reopening Tuesday morning at 5 a.m. This pattern will continue through the week, officials said. The agency hasn't announced whether advance warning signs will be posted or how far in advance detour routes will be marked for drivers unfamiliar with the area.

Drivers Should Plan Alternate Routes

Motorists who regularly use Hillfoot Avenue during evening and early morning hours should plan alternative routes for the five-night closure period. Officials said the road will remain fully accessible during daytime hours, minimizing impact on most commuters. Specific detour routes weren't provided by the agency.
