 We expect the temporary traffic controls for work on Lusted Road east of the intersection with Altman Road to restart mid-week or the following week. Meanwhile, crews will be working in the pipeline staging area along Altman Road between Lusted Road and Oxbow Drive, but no traffic impacts are anticipated.
Work on Lusted Road near the county line is picking back up and single-lane traffic controls are expected for several weeks. After crews complete the temporary road widening in January, there will be exploration work of the existing pipelines in this same area to help plan for future system tie ins.
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 daytime closure of the Altman Road/Lusted Road intersection is expected between January 15 and 24. Temporary daytime closure of Pipeline Road near the Altman Road intersection is expected between January 13 and 17. We also anticipate temporary closure of Oxbow Drive near the intersection with Altman Road in February.
Additional information will be shared as available.
