Road closure in Central Fresno due to high-speed rail work

A road closure in Central Fresno may impact your work week commute.

Starting Monday, both directions of McKinley Avenue between Highway 99 and West Avenue will be closed due to construction.

The 99 off-ramp to McKinley will also be closed.

The closure is due to the high-speed rail grade separation and the realignment of the McKinley and Golden State Boulevard intersection.

Officials say the closure is expected to last a year.

Drivers are asked to use Clinton and Olive Avenues or find an alternate route.
