There will be lane restrictions from the bottom of State Street Hill to the bridge all week. Upon completion of this area, repairs will move west through the village area and campus. Work will continue through the remainder of the academic year. Beginning May 14, some sidewalk ramps repairs will begin along SR 26 beginning at Airport Road and working east. Following this there will be lane restrictions as they resurface the roadway into the summer months. Updates on US 231 Project The US 231 project will close Lindberg Road on Monday, April 9 at 7 a.m. just west of the McCormick Road intersection for the installation of a pipe under the roadway. The roadway is scheduled to reopen by 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 10. Note that sometime in August, Lindberg Road west of McCormick Road will be close for up to 100 days for the construction of the new intersection at US 231. More details will be made available at a later date. Use extreme caution in the area of McCormick Road and Cherry Lane. There is increased construction traffic in the area due to several projects. The continued work on the NW Athletic Complex is adding workers and traffic as the project evolves. Additionally E & B Paving is constructing a concrete batch plant immediately south of the Grand Prix Track to provide concrete for the paving of US 231. Beginning April 23, there may be trucks entering and leaving the area at a rate of one every 5-10 minutes during the pouring of concrete along US 231. Beginning Monday April 9, there will be lane restrictions and modifications to the area around Yeager Road and Northwestern Ave as Milestone Contractors begin work on constructing a new roadbed from Sagamore Parkway south to Northwestern Ave where they will install a new roundabout intersection. Later this summer, Yeager will be closed for up to 45 days for completion of the intersection. More details will be made available at a later date.
