WE UPDATED YOU ON OUR PARKER ROAD[Road Construction! Spring 2024 Parker Road Updates ]
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.HERE'S THE LATEST, THE WATERLINE REPLACEMENT FROM INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY TO COUNTRY PLACE DRIVE SHOULD BE DONE BY JULY.
ONCE THE WATERLINE IS DONE, THE ROAD'S CONCRETE PANELS WILL BE REPLACED AS NEEDED.
SOME OF THE ONGOING WORK MAY REQUIRE LANE CLOSURES.
OTHER PROJECTS SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP BY THE SUMMER, INCLUDING PAVEMENT REPAIR FROM COUNTRY PLACE DRIVE TO THE EAST CITY LIMITS.
THESE CONCRETE STREET AND SIDEWALK REPAIRS MAKE WAY FOR A FUTURE ASPHALT OVERLAY PROJECT TWO ASPHALT OVERLAY PROJECTS ON PARKER WILL BE STARTING IN THE COMING MONTHS.
THE EAST ASPHALT OVERLAY FROM US 75 TO THE EAST CITY LIMITS SHOULD BEGIN IN SPRING WITH AN ESTIMATED COMPLETION BY SUMMER.
ALONG WITH THE OVERLAY, SOME SMALL CONCRETE REPAIRS ARE BEING MADE.
THE WEST OVERLAY PROJECT FROM PARKWOOD BOULEVARD, PRESTON ROAD IS SCHEDULED TO START THIS SUMMER WITH COMPLETION BY FALL.
OVERLAYS CAN ONLY BE INSTALLED BETWEEN MAY AND OCTOBER.
WHEN PAVEMENT TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE 60 DEGREES, THE END RESULT IS A MUCH SMOOTHER RIDE.
IT LOOKS BETTER THAN CONCRETE AND SAVES MILLIONS IN TAX DOLLARS.
CREWS WILL ALSO BE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS AT TWO PARKER ROAD INTERSECTIONS AT COIT ROAD.
TWO LEFT TURN LANES WILL BE ADDED FOR TRAFFIC HEADING WEST AND EASTBOUND ON PARKER AND AT ALMA DRIVE.
DEDICATED RIGHT TURN LANES WILL BE BUILT FOR TRAFFIC.
TURNING SOUTHBOUND TO ALMA AND SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC TURNING WEST ON PARKER FROM ALMA PORTIONS OF PARKER ROAD ARE 40 YEARS OLD.
ALL THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL GIVE IT A SECOND LIFE AND GIVE YOU A MUCH SMOOTHER RIDE.
