A segment of Newcastle Golf Club Road will be reduced to one lane 24 hours a day starting next week. Crews will install a temporary traffic signal that will direct traffic on the short section of one-lane road just east of the YMCA for about a month. Electronic reader boards announcing the closure are already on site.

The work is necessary to accommodate a widened road for a traffic guardrail. The steepness of the shoulder requires a wall to be constructed and the excavation for the wall will impact the westbound lane which will need to be closed for the duration of wall construction.
