 Work related to new drinking water pipelines is ongoing on Oxbow Drive near the Altman Road intersection and on upper Lusted Road just east of the Altman Road intersection. Work at these locations is expected through mid-week.
When that work finishes, crews will start work on Altman Road between Lusted Road and Oxbow Drive, and on Dodge Park Boulevard between Cottrell Road and Altman Road. There will also be a full closure during shift hours of Pipeline Road near the Altman Road intersection and of Altman Road between Pipeline Road and Oxbow Drive starting mid-week.
