What's happening now?
N Suttle Road remains open but expect traffic impacts. We are pouring concrete on the northern half of the roadway. We are working in sections and generally moving from west to east. Each roadway section will remain closed for one to two weeks to allow the concrete to cure and strengthen; we will reopen sections as soon as it is safe to do so.
Businesses remain accessible during construction unless otherwise notified. Temporary traffic control may result in delays along N Suttle Road and at the intersection with Portland Road.
Construction is on schedule for completion in summer 2024.

- Winter 2023-24: Construction continues as weather allows on north side driveways, curb, gutter, sidewalk, and stormwater planters (mostly complete)
