Wooddale Avenue Bridge Improvements
Latest Updates and Upcoming Detours
|
A traffic detour is scheduled for May 7 and 8 on northbound Wooddale Avenue. In order to pave the northbound lane of Wooddale Avenue (just north of the Highway 7 north ramps), there will need to be a closure and detour of northbound Wooddale Avenue. View the
detour map
for more details.
The current schedule is as follows:
- Tuesday, May 7: Close the road at this location and use the posted detour from approximately 8:30 a.m. to noon for milling of the pavement surface.
- Wednesday, May 8: Close the road at this location, and use the posed detour from approximately 8:30 a.m. to noon for paving of the road.
On both of these days there will be additional lane restrictions on the off ramps (Highway 7 to Wooddale Avenue) and on north and southbound Wooddale Avenue between Walker Street and the South Frontage Road.
The contractor continues to make good progress on finalizing the construction of the project and is expected to be completed by late May.
The following traffic control is expected to be in place until the Southwest Light Rail Transit begins construction in 2019 or 2020.
- All-way stops signs will remain at the ramp intersections and at the south frontage road (regional trail crossing).
- There will be one lane of traffic in each direction along Wooddale Avenue with left-turn lanes to access Highway 7.
