W. Rolston Road Reconstruction Project- Update Three June 10, 2025
Work on W. Rolston Road is expected to be returned in full force tomorrow morning, June 11, 2025.
As was mentioned in Update Two, work was slowed on Friday afternoon when the workers discovered two separate underground utilities that were not properly marked. In addition, the contractor encountered a section of unstable soils in the roadway just west of N. Bridge. As a result, the open cuts in that area had to be left open over the weekend and through Monday while engineers evaluated the conditions and formulated a long-term solution to stabilize the area. Engineers have now identified a solution, and the contractor has made all the necessary arrangements to return to full staff beginning Wednesday Morning.
The updated road design in that area now calls for the inclusion of a larger, more robust stone base to stabilize the area. After discussing the solution with the contractor, all parties have determined that the work will now require the full closure of W. Rolston Road near N. Bridge while the contractor installs the recommended materials. At this point, the full closure is only expected to be applied during daytime work hours on Wednesday, June 11th, and Thursday, June 12th. At least one lane of travel will be made available overnight once the contractor has completed each day.
During this time, travelers must use the posted detour to Hogan Road to enter and leave the area.
Once the contractor has moved beyond this sensitive area, the construction activity will return to normal.
Please remember to use caution when traveling through the work zone.
