Update: West Roberts Road Temporary Closure

A portion of West Roberts Road between Tate Road and Highway 29 that is temporarily closed for construction of the West Roberts Road Roadway and Drainage Improvements Project is now expected to reopen Thursday, Sept. 17, weather permitting.

The closure extension will help ensure that crews can work as safely and efficiently as possible while the necessary shoulder work and lane striping along the roadway is completed.

Intermittent lane closures will resume along West Roberts Road as the project continues, and periodic detours will continue to be utilized along Kingsfield Road, Stallion Road, and Tate Road for the duration of the project. Traffic lanes will be reopened on West Roberts Road upon completion of this phase of work. Drivers traveling on West Roberts Road should use extra caution and follow road crew instructions, posted signs, and temporary traffic signals when traveling through the work zone.

The West Roberts Road Roadway and Drainage Improvements Project is expected to be completed by winter 2026, weather and construction coordination permitting.

Residents, pedestrians, local traffic and emergency vehicles will have access to properties within the work area at all times; however, there may be short periods when a driveway or entrance may be blocked temporarily as equipment and materials are moved during construction.

The public's patience is appreciated as crews work diligently to complete this project as soon as possible. If other roadway closures are necessary or work is delayed, another notice will be issued.
