Construction is 5% complete. 

Pipe installation has started on Edward Drive and will continue through December. 

Please expect no parking signs to be placed where work will occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Work may occasionally extend beyond these hours to complete specific tasks. 

Final roadway paving/striping is estimated to be completed in early spring 2027, weather permitting.
