Status Updates

5/4/2026: Beginning today, crews will start roadway reclamation operations as part of the road reconstruction process. Reclamation involves grinding and pulverizing the existing roadway surface to create a new base for reconstruction. Residents and motorists in the area should expect increased construction noise, truck traffic, dust, and periodic ground vibrations during active work. Reclamation and reconstruction activities are anticipated to continue over the next two weeks, weather permitting. Please refer to the weekly work zone update for additional details.

4/28/26: A Road Reconstruction Work Plan has been posted under the supporting documents section of this page.

4/24/2026: During construction work, a gas main was accidentally struck in the Westside Dr neighborhood. The situation is being managed, and there is no ongoing safety concern.
