 We hope everyone is enjoying the holidays! We expect limited work activity early in the week. No work is planned January 1.
After New Year's Day, temporary traffic controls for work on Lusted Road east of Altman Road and on Lusted Road near the county line will resume.
Single-lane traffic controls include:
-
Lusted Road (between Hosner Road and Altman Road): 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.
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 shift hours
Note: Temporary full closure of the Altman Road/Lusted Road intersection is expected between January 15 and January 24. We also anticipate temporary closures of Pipeline Road at the intersection with Altman Road and of Oxbow Drive near the intersection with Altman Road in February.
Additional information will be shared as available.
