 Work in the Lusted Road/Altman Road intersection to install new Pleasant Home Water District (PHWD) water lines is nearly complete. The intersection is expected to be closed Monday January 27 during shift hours while this work is finished.
Crews will also be working on service installation, testing and commissioning of the new PHWD water lines in Lusted Road between the intertie site and the Altman Road intersection. The traffic restrictions on Lusted Road between Hosner Road and Altman Road will continue for a few more weeks while this work is happening.
We also expect the westbound lane closure on Oxbow Drive near the Altman Road intersection to continue into February. There will be flaggers at the intersection to direct traffic starting Saturday, January 25.
Temporary traffic controls include:
-
Lusted Road/Altman Road intersection full closure 1/27: Full closure during shift hours. Through traffic detoured to Oxbow Drive or Dodge Park Boulevard--school buses and farm traffic flagged through as needed. Normal traffic flow outside of shift hours.
-
Lusted Road (between Hosner Road and Altman Road) single-lane closure during shift hours for 2-3 weeks: Single-lane closure with flagged one-way westbound traffic while crews complete work on the south side of Lusted Road between the intertie site and the 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. Normal traffic flow outside of shift hours.
-
Oxbow Drive (at Altman Road intersection) single-lane closure for 2-3 weeks: Single-lane closure with a temporary work zone safety barrier on Oxbow Drive restricting part of the westbound lane near the intersection with Altman Road. There will be flagged two-way traffic through the intersection starting Saturday morning (1/25) to manage traffic flow.
-
Bluff Road/Cottrell Road-347th Avenue intersection single-lane closure for 1-3 days: Single-lane closure with flagged two-way traffic while crews complete pothole repairs at the intersection. Normal traffic flow outside of shift hours.
