Tree removal in Hartsville will cause brief road closures, traffic diversions

HARTSVILLE, S.C. -- Crews in Hartsville will remove a tree deemed hazardous Wednesday at the intersection of East Home Avenue, Fourth Street and Laurel Oak Street. Work will begin at 9 a.m. and last for at least two hours.

While removal is ongoing, East Home Avenue between Fourth and Fifth Streets as well as Laurel Oak Street at the East Home Avenue intersection will be closed. During the closures, westbound traffic on East Home Avenue will be diverted onto Fourth Street. Northbound traffic will be diverted right onto East Home Avenue.

There is the possibility for traffic on Fourth Street and East Home Avenue to be stopped by flaggers for safety concerns.
