We hope everyone had a safe and joyful holiday! As December kicks off, look for ongoing traffic controls where work is happening in the public right-of-way of Altman Road (near the intersection with Pipeline Road), Lusted Road (between the Water Bureau's intertie site and Altman Road), and Dodge Park Boulevard (near the Water Bureau's pipeline site on the north side of the road).
Work in Lusted Road will continue for a couple of weeks as crews work east to west installing new Pleasant Home Water District water lines in the south side of the right-of-way. Work to install the new water lines in the intersection of Altman Road and Lusted Road is currently expected mid-month, followed by similar work in the Altman Road right-of-way.
Single-lane closures and traffic controls include:
-
Altman Road (near the intersection with Pipeline Road): Single-lane closures with flagged two-way traffic on Altman Road near Pipeline Road while crews finish potholing to confirm locations of existing underground utilities. This work is expected to wrap up early in the week.
-
Lusted Road (between Hosner Road and Altman Road): Single-lane closures with flagged one-way westbound traffic in the open lane while crews install new water lines on the south side of Lusted Road between the intertie site and Altman Road intersection. Eastbound traffic will be detoured to Oxbow Drive or Dodge Park Boulevard--school buses and farm traffic will be flagged through west to east as needed. This work is anticipated to take about two weeks.
-
Dodge Park Boulevard (east of Altman Road): Single-lane closures with flagged two-way traffic in the open lane to allow for pipeline site access road construction on the north side of Dodge Park Boulevard.
What to expect:
- Signage and temporary traffic controls to direct traffic
- Local and emergency access will be maintained
- Flaggers will prioritize school buses and farm traffic
- Normal traffic flow will resume outside of shift hours
Note: A temporary full closure of the Altman Road/Lusted Road intersection is planned between December 16 and January 3. Detours for through traffic will be signed and the intersection will be open to regular traffic outside of shift hours. Additional information will be shared as available.
