Closure: Towne Road
Towne Road from 146th Street to Towne Run Road will be closed to construct a roundabout tying into Old 146th Street. Please detour utilizing 146th Street to Ditch Road to 151st Street. This closure will tentatively last 60 days. All dates and timelines are subject to change due to weather, utilities, etc.
Partial Closure: 171st Street
A portion of 171st Street near Ditch Road is closed, which will last approximately 45 days. Ditch Road going north and south will remain open to thru traffic, but be aware of construction crews working in this area. There will still be access to Maple Glen Elementary. This construction is part of the 171st Street and Ditch Road roundabout.
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.
Lane restrictions: 181st Street
As Sept. 3, work has begun on an accel / decel lane for Westfield Collective on the north side of 181st Street between Wheeler Road and Grand Park Boulevard. Lane restrictions are possible during this work, which is expected to last two to three days.
Patch replacement: 161st & Gray Road, Casey Road
A city contractor is replacing patches at 161st Street and Gray Road, as well as on Casey Road between the Ditch Road roundabout and 186th Street. 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. 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.
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.
