NOTICE OF UPCOMING TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE- NORTH ALBY AT HUMBERT ROAD - Godfrey officials are advising motorists that Stutz Excavating (working as subcontractor for the village on the North Alby paving project) will be temporarily closing the North Alby Street access at Humbert (north the railroad crossing) later this month in order to complete the final portion of the North Alby road repair and resurfacing project.
Work shall begin Monday, November 16th starting at 7:00 AM and will re-open on Wednesday evening, November 25th around 7:00 PM. Detour signage and digital kiosks will be present alerting motorists of the project and rerouting vehicles past North Alby on Humbert to Tolle lane during this temporary closure.
The reason for the closure is due to the proximity of that project where they will be working north of the railroad tracks there is very little room to store North Alby’s southbound stopped traffic (which will back up onto Humbert Rd) and will compound every time a train passes which will likely hold traffic even longer, potentially contributing to further traffic safety risk for motorists.
Godfrey Public Safety Administrator & Emergency Services Coordinator Chris Sichra states that local first responder agencies and mutual aid companies (Fire, Police, EMS), as well as local utility companies, school bus agencies and MCT have already been notified of the upcoming temporary closure so that they can adjust their response routes accordingly.
Residents and motorists should also pre-plan to consider alternate routes to navigate the affected area during the temporary shutdown.
