Blackwell Dairy Road Closure: Plan Ahead

0:00Heads up, Jasper Drivers, a stretch of Blackwell Dairy Road, shuts down starting this Wednesday. City officials say it's the section linking Highway 78 to Archadelphia Road, right past that curve by Baptist Health Walker Hospital. This closure blocks direct access to the highway for folks living north of the spot on Blackwell Dairy, though need to loop around using Archadelphia Road to hop on Highway 78 instead. No word yet on how long it'll last, but locals might feel the pinch with extra drive-time during rush hours or hospital visits nearby. The city promises timeline updates as soon as they drop, so keep an eye out for those alerts. Plane your routes ahead to dodge the hassle and we'll circle back with more as it unfolds.
