*NEW* 3900 South Closure, October 24

As early as Sunday, Oct. 24, drivers should expect a full closure of 3900 South from 2300 East to 2700 East. This closure could last up to four weeks while crews complete paving activities before winter. Weekend work is possible but is weather- and schedule-dependent. This area of the road will remain accessible to local traffic only, including Buttons ‘N Bows Preschool and Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church employees and patrons. Commuters will be detoured to Lincoln Lane.

During this closure, crews will remove the old asphalt, prepare the ground and pave both sides of the road simultaneously. Weekend work is possible but is weather- and schedule-dependent. Residents should also drive slowly through the closed roadway section and expect uneven driving surfaces.

The 2300 East and 2700 East intersections will remain open during this closure. However, the 2700 East intersection will have impacts and/or closures for a handful of days as part of the road reconstruction.
