Some equipment will be moved onto 8th Street on Monday, July 25, as crews begin foundation work in preparation for the major construction that will begin on Tuesday, August 2.

Once construction begins on Tuesday, August 2, residents and drivers can expect lane closures, reduced speed limits and detours.

This large project will include the twinning of 8th Street between Yankee Valley Blvd. and Hillcrest Way, underground work for future traffic lights, curbs and gutters, and new asphalt.

This project is scheduled to be completed by the end of September 2016.

The installation of traffic lights at Coopers Link/Prairie Springs Dr., 40th Ave and Hillcrest Way/Windford Dr, are scheduled to be completely installed by the end of 2016.

While construction is occurring, drivers are asked to be alert to all speed reductions and construction signs to ensure the safety of city works and construction crews.
