Woodland Drive will be under construction throughout the summer. This will have impacts on traffic and subdivision access. In order to keep the public updated on this project, I will post weekly project construction updates which are supplied by the Project Engineer.
Weekly Construction Update
Traffic Impact: Woodland Drive will be closed to through traffic from CTH M to Manchester Crossing. The construction limits are from 200-feet south of Cobblestone Lane to 200-feet south of Manchester Crossing. This closure will be in effect for the duration of the construction project. The anticipated completion date is September 30, 2011. Motorist can expect to encounter daytime flagging operations and potential delays. Access will be maintained through the work zone for residents and emergency vehicles. The best way to access Woodland Drive for the first two weeks will be Mill Road or CTH M.

Summary: Starting Monday, there will be construction activity occurring on the project from Mill Road to Manchester Crossing. The survey firm working on the project will be working the length of the site. Additionally, the contractors will be removing trees and installing silt fence along the entire length of the project. As soon as this initial work is completed, the contractors will begin grading the road from Mill Road to the north project limits. When this work begins, it will be very difficult to get through this part of the project and delays are excepted. Access will always be maintained for the residents and businesses but the roadway will be closed to through traffic.Starting Monday, there will be construction activity occurring on the project from Mill Road to Manchester Crossing.
