According to a project update, unforeseen repairs to the roadway’s concrete base are needed in addition to other work that has already taken place. Construction on West Prairie Creek Drive between North Collins Boulevard and West Campbell Road was funded as part of the city’s 2015 bond.
The gist
The delay in the road work was announced during a phase of concrete repair on the roadway. Construction for the entire project is estimated to cost over $7.4 million, per the project website.
Road work began in August 2022 and included a new street overlay, updated water infrastructure and additional crosswalks.
Currently, only southbound travel lanes are open while crews perform utility work on the other side of the street. Crews are also continuing to replace waterlines between Lookout Drive and Campbell Road with pipes already installed and operational between Collins Boulevard and Lookout Drive.
The details
According to the project website, several areas are included in the roadway reconstruction's scope.
- Removal and replacement of the current road
