What closes and what stays open

Danville says crews are scheduled to replace a traffic-signal cabinet at Piney Forest Road and Nelson Avenue on Wednesday, November 4, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Northbound and southbound through traffic on Piney Forest Road is expected to remain open, but left turns will be prohibited in every direction during the work.

The city says the Piney Forest left-turn lanes for Nelson Avenue and Nor Dan Drive will close. Drivers entering Piney Forest from Nelson Avenue or Nor Dan Drive will be allowed to turn right only.

Follow the field controls

The notice says detours will support the turning restrictions and asks drivers to follow posted signs, use caution and allow extra time. Those field controls, not this summary, govern an actual trip.

The schedule is an announced work window, not proof that restrictions begin or end at an exact minute. Recheck the city notice before travel if weather or field conditions could change the work.
