The City of Macon and the Medical Center of Central Georgia (MCCG) are working together to improve the roads, sidewalks, and traffic flow along Pine Street between Spring and First Streets and New Street from Pine Street to Plum Street Lane.

During construction, there will be detours and road closures in the area. The first closing will be Pine Street from Spring to New Streets. New Street will remain open, as will the section of Pine to First Streets, and traffic will be rerouted to Forsyth Street. This will begin October 15, 2012.
