Resurfacing project: Carey Road & 151st Street
Expect delays on Sept. 3 and 4 at the Carey Road and 151st Street roundabout due to a milling and asphalt resurfacing project. There will be traffic control and lane restrictions. If you are able, please avoid this area and seek alternative routes to lessen the amount of traffic while crews are working on the roundabout.
Road closure: Sun Park Drive
On Sept. 5 and 6, Sun Park Drive will be closed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. for milling and resurfacing. Please detour by taking State Road 32 to Wheeler Road to 181st Street.

Patch replacement: 161st & Gray Road, Casey Road
A city contractor will replace patches at 161st Street and Gray Road, as well as on Casey Road between the Ditch Road roundabout and 186th Street on Monday, Sept. 8. There will be traffic control with lane restrictions. Delays are expected.
Lane restrictions: 161st Street
In anticipation of the 161st Street Path project, crews will be removing trees on the south side of 161st Street between Oak Road and Carey Road. This will likely result in lane restrictions on the eastbound lane beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 2. Flaggers will be on-site to direct traffic. Please use caution in this area. The project is anticipated to last two weeks.
Road closure: 151st Street
151st Street is closed between Buchanan Lane and Shelbourne Road for approximately three weeks to reconstruct the road as part of the Kimblewick development. Residents will be able to access their homes, but thru traffic will not be permitted. Please use Towne Road, 146th Street, and Shelbourne Road as detours.
Update: Old 146th Street & Towne Road roundabout
Construction on this roundabout has been delayed due to pending utility relocation work. The city is in active communication with the utility companies involved and is doing everything possible to expedite the process.
Once utility work is finished, the contractor will begin construction immediately.
171st Street & Ditch Road roundabout
Road work to construct a roundabout at 171st Street and Ditch Road is underway. Closures are not expected at this time, but flaggers will be on-site to direct traffic. Please use caution in this area.
Transmission line extension project
Citizens Gas will begin the second phase of its transmission line extension project that began in 2024. Operations will be along the east side of Oak Ridge Road, between Oak Ridge and Holly Farms Drive (Viking Meadows entrance).
Closure: 161st Street & Spring Mill Road
The intersection of 161st Street and Spring Mill Road is closed for roundabout construction. The roundabout construction has been slowed due to utility relocation delays. This project is roughly one month behind the revised opening date (two months behind the original opening date) due to delays with utility relocation work.
The city, field staff, and contractor are working diligently to complete the remaining construction as efficiently as possible. A number of alternatives were considered, including the possibility of partially opening the roundabout with lane restrictions; this would have extended the timeline by an estimated 45 days. Due to that, the decision was made to keep the intersection fully closed until construction is complete.
The current target date for reopening the intersection is Wednesday, Sept. 10. Those involved say they understand the inconvenience and sincerely appreciate your continued patience as work is continued to deliver a safe and improved intersection.
