Themis Street to close between Silver Springs Road, Pind Wood Lane started Monday

Themis Street will be closed to through traffic from Silver Springs Road to Pind Wood Lane starting at 7 a.m. Monday. Traffic will be detoured via Whitener Street, according to a news release from the city of Cape Girardeau.

Drainage pipes beneath the street will be replaced in an effort to alleviate storm-water issues. The Themis and Whitener Drainage Improvements Project is one of several projects approved by voters as part of a sales tax in April 2008.

The project should be complete in six weeks.
