Some construction will be taking place on Yankee Valley Boulevard starting on Monday, August 15.

Phase one of the construction project, which will result in the twinning of Yankee Valley Boulevard between Chinook Winds Drive and 24th Street, will be mostly earth work, preparing for the roadwork and installation of traffic lights.

Phase one is scheduled to be completed by September 2016 and phase two of the project is scheduled to start up in spring of 2017.

The new project will include storm water utilities, new asphalt, curb and gutter, traffic signals, street lighting, and landscaping.

Although phase one will be taking place adjacent to the road, workers and heavy equipment will be present and drivers are asked to be alert and obey all speed reduction limits and construction signage.
