Closing of Montlake Entry at Alcoa – Oct. 23

Many of you have seen the digital display along Alcoa Hwy that announces that the exit from Alcoa Hwy to Montlake will close on October 23.   The Blalock project manager explained today that Montlake will remain closed until the completion of this phase of the Alcoa Hwy expansion.

This means that all residents of Lakemoor Hills will only be able to exit Alcoa Hwy heading south at Ginn Rd. and Maloney Rd.  You will  be able to enter Alcoa Hwy heading south at these two roads also.

But if you wish to head north to UT Hospital or downtown, your only choice will be to enter Alcoa Hwy by crossing the Maloney Rd. bridge over Alcoa and use the exit from the round a bout to access the northern lane.

If Montlake has been your entry and exit of choice, you may need to plan to add a few extra minutes to reroute to Maloney for the next 6 or 7 months.
