Broadway Changed to One-Way Street

McKENZIE (April 23, 2024) — Motorists in McKenzie might notice a change in how they navigate the downtown area. On Tuesday, Broadway Street was converted from a two-way to a one-way street after roughly 100 years as a two-way street. Work crews were busy repainting lines and installing new road signs on Broadway that indicate the change of travel.

The direction of travel on the entire length of Broadway is now from Cedar Street (the location of Super Drugs and the Park Theatre) to Lee Street (the location of the Wrinkle Hardware Building).

Lee Street is a one-way street that requires motorists to turn left at the end of Broadway.

Banner Row is a one-way street running from Main Street to Broadway, a Wrong Way sign is posted in front of the Williams Furniture building.

Recently, new sidewalks were added long the west side of Broadway Street with planters extending out into Broadway. Soon new decorative lighting will be added along Broadway and in Veterans Park.

More information to be provided at a later date.
