Two road projects connected to new student housing complexes could cause traffic tie-ups for Statesboro commuters during business hours this week, the Georgia Department of Transportation announced Monday. From today through Friday, weather permitting, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., one lane on northbound South Main Street will be closed between Veterans Memorial Parkway and Old Register Road. The lane closure will be used for new deceleration lanes and access drives to South Main from the new Monarch301 apartment complex, which is scheduled to be open in time for the fall 2013 semester and cater mainly to Georgia Southern University students.
