(June 1, 2011) - Water main repairs along Poplar Avenue will prompt Memphis Light, Gas and Water crews to temporarily reduce traffic to one eastbound lane and one westbound lane between Goodlett Street and Redbird Lane, beginning June 2. The work is expected to last approximately one week.

Although the work is not expected to impact or completely close adjacent streets, some streets may be partially blocked as needed. Traffic control devices will be used and will allow for the efficient and safe flow of traffic while crews continue their repair efforts.

Customers in this area are not expected to experience any interruptions to their utility service.

MLGW is the largest three-service public power utility in the nation, serving more than 423,000 customers in Memphis and Shelby County.
