Construction Update


Stay alert while driving through workzones and follows detour signs. Watch for construction personnel, equipment and vehicles leaving a construction site and merging with traffic. Motorists should use alternate routes when possible. No pedestrians are allowed in construction work areas for safety reasons. Slow for the cone zone!

 

Westside Parkway Phase 2

May 25-31, 2013

Motorists are advised to anticipate nighttime lane closures for the northbound and southbound outside lanes on Coffee Road, between Truxtun Avenue and Brimhall Road, from Tuesday through Thursday, May 28-30, 2013. The closures will be in effect between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The contractor will also close the westbound right-turn lane on Brimhall Road during this time period. Access to the gas station/mini-mart, from both Brimhall Road and Coffee Road, will be available while work is underway.

These closures are necessary to allow the contractor to remove concrete barrier rail, replace it with temporary delineators, and to finish construction of the storm drain system in this area.

At least one lane in each direction will remain open to traffic while work is underway, and all lanes will reopen in time for the morning commute.

Motorists should anticipate frequent nighttime lane closures and changes to the existing traffic patterns in this area in the coming weeks as the contractor for the Westside Parkway completes road widening, paving, and other street improvements.

 

Westside Parkway Truxtun Tie-in

May 25-31, 2013

 

The driveway access off Truxtun Avenue, between Commercial Way and Empire Drive, permanently closed on Friday, March 15, 2013. The closure is needed to complete the widening of Truxtun Avenue in preparation of opening the Westside Parkway in summer 2013.

This driveway provided additional access to the business area on the south side of Truxtun Avenue, and has been limited to eastbound right-turns in and out only while the Truxtun Tie-in portion of the Westside Parkway has been under construction (since spring 2011).

The City street access for this area – from Truxtun Avenue via Commercial Way and Commerce Drive – has and will continue to remain open.

 

Westside Parkway Allen Road Interchange

May 25-31, 2013

 

Motorists are advised to anticipate lane closures on Allen Road, between San Juan Avenue and Vermillion Drive in the vicinity of the Westside Parkway, on Monday-Friday, May 20-24, 2013.

The two outside northbound lanes of Allen Road will be closed between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. The inside northbound lane will remain open to traffic while work is underway.  Southbound lanes will not be impacted. All lanes will reopen in time for the evening commute.

The closures will allow AT&T crews to complete utility work on the Allen Road Bridge.
