On Wednesday the city of Westfield officially opened the new extension for Ditch Road with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
“The northwest quadrant of Westfield is growing at a rapid pace and the new section of Ditch Road is necessary infrastructure to keep up with the growth in that area,” said Mayor Andy Cook. “The new roadway will now allow the city to close down Casey Road, which has become unrepairable over the years.”
Ditch Road connects to the new Casey Road roundabout, which opened to traffic just a few weeks ago.
Cost for construction was approximately $2.8 million. The extension adds a little more than 1.5 miles to Westfield’s road network. Casey Road is closed to traffic indefinitely.
