 Construction and temporary traffic controls will be active in two spots on Lusted Road for the next few weeks while work happens in the public right-of-way just east of the Altman Road intersection and near the county line.
The work in Lusted Road between the intertie site and Altman Road will continue through December while crews install new water lines working east to west. Following this, the crews will shift to installing water lines in Altman Road.
Work is also starting on Lusted Road near the county line to temporarily widen the road within the right-of-way to help manage traffic during upcoming pipeline work. This work is likely to continue into January 2025.
In effort to remove soil off the site more efficiently and reduce the long-term duration of hauling, material hauling to and from the filtration facility site will also include Saturdays.
On Saturday December 14, there will be temporary traffic controls on Dodge Park Boulevard between Cottrell Road and Altman Road while crews pothole to confirm locations of existing underground utilities.
Single-lane closures and traffic controls include:
-
Lusted Road (between Hosner Road and Altman Road): Single-lane closure with flagged one-way westbound traffic while crews install 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 during shift hours as needed.
-
Lusted Road (near county line): Single-lane closure with flagged two-way traffic to allow for temporary widening within the Lusted Road right-of-way.
-
Dodge Park Boulevard (between Cottrell Road and Altman Road) on Saturday 12/14: Single-lane closure with flagged two-way traffic while crews complete potholing to confirm utility locations.
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
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.
