The roadway improvements and drainage project construction work along West Roberts Road has been extended, requiring intermittent lane closures on West Roberts Road to remain in place until construction is completed.
The project area includes a portion of West Roberts Road between Highway 29 and Pine Forest Road. The West Roberts Road Roadway and Drainage Improvements Project is expected to be completed in late Fall 2026, weather permitting. The project was delayed due to unforeseen conditions during construction, including utility conflicts and coordination.
Detours will remain in place 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 in the fall. Drivers traveling on West Roberts Road should use extra caution and follow road crew instructions and posted signs when traveling through the work zone.
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.
