The Pearland Police Department would like to make citizens aware of a partial road closure & traffic switch at the intersection of Old Alvin Rd. and Orange St.The east half of Old Alvin Road at the intersection with Orange Street will be closed from Monday, August 7, 2017 through Wednesday, August 16, 2017, weather permitting, for paving of the east half of the intersection. Eastbound traffic on Orange will be diverted south from Orange to Plum and then to Schleider. Orange from Schleider to Linwood Oaks will be oneway westbound and open to local traffic only. Only those residents living on and requiring access to Orange between Linwood Oaks and Old Alvin will be permitted onto that section of Orange as there will be no outlet to Old Alvin.On Tuesday, August 8, 2017, the westbound Plum to northbound Galveston detour will be rerouted for one day to northbound Park Ave to accommodate pavement restriping on Galveston.Once the intersection is paved, traffic will be moved onto the new pavement on Old Alvin. The switch is anticipated to take place on Thursday, August 17, 2017. More details regarding traffic circulation will be forthcoming in the next week.Additional Traffic Advisories will be published as warranted to inform the public of new developments on the project, including changes in traffic circulation patterns as the work progresses.
