The city of Westfield is finalizing the construction of the Westfield Boulevard Extension project. The final phase is constructing a roundabout at 151st Street and Greyhound Pass.

“The Westfield Blvd Extension has been part of the city’s Thoroughfare Plan in response to the US 31 turning in to a freeway,” says Mayor Andy Cook. “This roadway will offer local traffic an easy way to commute from downtown Westfield to our shopping district at 151st Street and residents will have access to businesses that were affected by the US 31 freeway construction.”

The roadway extends Union Street on the east side of US 31 to the west side of Target at 151st Street. The roundabout will be located at 151st Street and Greyhound Pass.

The 151st Street and Greyhound Pass intersection will be closed Monday, June 19. It is expected to reopen in approximately 60 days. The newly extended Westfield Boulevard is planned to be open to traffic by the end of August.
