Yankee Road Closure: Oct. 19 - Nov. 20, 2026
Monroe families, students and staff,
Please be aware that beginning Monday, Oct. 19, Yankee Road will be closed to all through traffic north of Hornet Drive for 33 days. The road is currently expected to reopen on Nov. 20, 2026, weather permitting.
Hornet Drive will only be accessible from S.R. 63 and all through traffic will be required to turn left when exiting Monroeβs main campus. Please be patient and allow extra time when traveling to and from main campus, as there will be a significant increase in vehicle traffic due to the detour.
There are no planned changes to bus routes or drop-off/pick-up procedures for students grades 2-12. Students are encouraged to ride the bus if they are signed up to avoid additional traffic congestion along Hornet Drive and Yankee Road.
During this closure, Yankee Road will be widened, a southbound left-turn lane and northbound right-turn lane will be added, and related infrastructure will be modified to accommodate future connection to a planned second drive on Monroeβs main campus.
Please note that this project is related to but separate from the construction of the new second drive, which is scheduled to open later this school year.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we take this exciting step toward improving access to our main campus. ππ
