Help shape our FY 2024-25 road maintenance activities by visiting the Draft FY 2024-25 Road Maintenance Program online open house through April 21. 

Review and comment on proposed maintenance activities. Highlights include: 

• 11.34 miles of chip seal pavement repair performed by LUT crews 
• 4.55 miles of paving done by contractors 
• Four major culvert replacements 
• 250 miles of sweeping bike lanes and shoulders 
• 1,800 miles of clearing and trimming roadside vegetation 

Our summer paving list is now available. We will be resurfacing and chip sealing on major county roads and applying slurry seal to more than 50 neighborhood streets. 

We will notify those who live on roads scheduled for paving. We generally pave in late summer. Schedules will be available in the weeks before paving begins.

Design work on a repair for Timber Road reached a milestone earlier in March when our consultants prepared 30% design plans. 

Design will continue through spring. The road will remain closed construction, which is anticipated to be complete by the end 2024.

Transportation News

The Farmington and River Roads Intersection Roundabout is starting construction this summer.

During the development and design work, several people expressed concern about grave sites in the area. We conducted a detailed survey using Ground Penetrating Radar and located historic graves outside the project area. Our work does not impact these graves.

Walker Road construction drives on

Work continues on Walker Road, with two more projects moving toward construction.

Walker Road Phase 2 (Schendel Avenue to Butner Road) is in construction through December.

Walker Road Phase 3 (173rd Avenue to 185th Avenue) is expected to start construction this fall and continue through late 2026.

Walker Road and Murray Boulevard Intersection Project is expected to start construction in summer 2025 and continue through summer 2027.
