Eagle Drive (Update 3)

So it's happened.

For those of you who live in the area, who shop along Eagle Drive, or who are just wanting to get your kids to school, you've noticed the cones, barriers, barrels, and workers out there. We knew it was coming, and come it has...

The image above is a pictorial phasing chart, showing where the different areas of construction will take place and when. There are a couple of things of interest:

Phase 1 was the initial drainage work.

Phase 2 (through step 3) involves most of the entrances at the school. This work should be completed by next August, hopefully before school starts again in the fall.

The rest of Phase 2 and Phase 3 will be the finishing-up of the east side of the road and the construction of the west side. All traffic will be shifted over to the new two north bound lanes and there will be contra-flow on those two lanes (yikes!) for a while (probably 8-10 months).

Phase 4 is the finishing out of the medians, the road striping and final construction work. All lanes should be open by July 2013.

Please note that all dates are subject to change due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances, but we're hoping they'll be ready!

Please also be very careful as you travel the area. Be courteous and patient and we'll be able to get through this just fine. It may be inconvenient for a while, but it will surely be worth it when it's done!
