Heads Up, Drivers! Dettman Road in Jackson County Closes for Vital Paving Work

Get ready for a smoother journey, Jackson County! The Jackson County Department of Transportation (JCDOT) has announced an upcoming temporary closure for a vital paving project on Dettman Road. This essential upgrade aims to significantly improve driving conditions, though it will require a bit of patience from drivers in the short term.

Beginning September 10 and expected to last through early October, Dettman Road will be completely closed to through traffic between Page Avenue and Michigan Avenue.

This necessary shutdown will allow crews to perform extensive resurfacing work, transforming worn asphalt into a durable, comfortable surface for years to come. While local residents within the closure area will still maintain access to their properties, all other through traffic will need to follow the designated detour.

The official detour route will guide motorists via Page Avenue to Airport Road, and then onto Michigan Avenue, allowing for a clear path around the construction zone.

Motorists are strongly encouraged to plan their routes accordingly, allow for extra travel time, and exercise caution when navigating the detour. Signage will be prominently placed to help direct traffic and ensure safety for both drivers and construction workers.

This paving initiative is part of JCDOT’s ongoing commitment to maintaining and enhancing Jackson County's road infrastructure.

We understand that road closures can be inconvenient, but these efforts are crucial for ensuring the long-term safety and efficiency of our transportation network. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to bring you better, smoother roads!
