The City of Manhattan has announced that the closure on Anderson Avenue has been extended through Sunday, November 30 due to possible inclement winter weather.
Due to the head-to-head traffic configuration, the steep hill between Connecticut and Timberlane, and limited sight distance in the construction zone, Public Works will close Anderson Avenue during winter weather to protect all travelers. This area has a history of vehicles getting stuck or sliding out of control in snowy or icy conditions.
To keep the public informed, the City will use a three-step alert system for Anderson Avenue closures related to weather:
- Winter Weather Watch – Conditions may develop that could require a closure. At this stage, we alert the public that a closure is possible and encourage residents to plan ahead and stay informed.
- Winter Weather Warning – Hazardous conditions are expected. A closure of Anderson Avenue is likely, and we will remind the public to prepare alternate routes and limit nonessential travel.
- Road Closure – If conditions become unsafe, Anderson Avenue will be closed and a signed detour will be activated. Updates will be shared throughout the closure, including estimated duration and reopening plans.
