Kemmer Road to close Sept. 17
Kemmer Road, between 175th and 176th avenues, will be closed Sept. 17-Oct. 16 for road construction.

All travelers must use the signed detour ( see map) during the closure.

Kemmer Road will be realigned to a newly constructed roundabout southwest of the current 175th Avenue/Kemmer Road intersection. A closure of the 175th Avenue and Kemmer Road intersection is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 17-31.

The roundabout is expected to open to traffic Nov. 1 with project completion anticipated later this year. Project dates are estimates and subject to change.
