Council OKs temporary 9th Street closure for Chrysler Tower relocation after emergency-access assurances
Summary
Willeford Construction will move the Chrysler Tower the week of Sept. 22–26, 2025; the council approved closing East 9th Street from Chestnut to Pine from 6:00 a.m. while Willeford agreed to coordinate with emergency services.
Jeff Willeford of Willeford Construction asked the council to close East 9th Street so his crew could disassemble and move the Chrysler Tower to Main Street. Council members raised concerns about access for emergency vehicles; Willeford agreed to work with emergency services to ensure access. Councilmember Joe Church moved to approve the closure and Trustee/Councilmember Judd Johns seconded; the motion passed unanimously among those present.
The approved closure covers East 9th Street from Chestnut Street to Pine Street from 6:00 a.m. on Sept. 22, 2025 until the tower move is completed on Sept. 26, 2025. The minutes record that council and the contractor discussed emergency-vehicle coordination but do not list additional conditions or traffic-control details; those operational arrangements will be coordinated by city staff and the contractor.
