Starting in June 2025 and continuing through Fall 2025, a major road construction project will take place on Main Street between 9180 W and 8400 W. The primary goal is to rebuild the road’s base, repave the surface, and extend the road’s lifespan. Additional roadwork will occur on 9040 W and 8550 W, from Main Street to 2600 S.
Public updates will be available throughout the project, and a dedicated hotline will be open for questions and concerns.
Construction Schedule & Work Zones
- June: Initial asphalt removal begins to prepare the road base.
- June 16–20: Storm drain installation will cause a full road closure at 8900 W with traffic detours in place.
- June 23–25: Local bus services will be detoured to nearby routes; some stops will be temporarily skipped.
- Fall Timeline: Each section of Main Street will close for up to 20 days for roadbed treatment and paving. Construction is broken into phases to limit disruption.
Residents and businesses will be notified at least 7 days before work begins on their specific block.
Traffic Management & Access
To keep traffic flowing and minimize inconvenience:
- Only one section of the road will be closed at any given time.
- Side street detours will be clearly marked.
- Local access to homes and businesses outside of active work zones will be maintained.
- Bus routes will adjust during closures, with temporary stop relocations.
- Pedestrian walkways will remain open during construction.
Business & Property Considerations
The construction team is working to reduce the impact on local businesses and property owners:
- Businesses will remain open and accessible, even during sidewalk and driveway work.
- Crews will schedule work to avoid major disruptions during business hours when possible.
- For large deliveries or pickups, temporary street access from nearby intersections will be available.
Community Events & Coordination
Special attention is being paid to local events and community gatherings:
- Construction teams have adjusted their work zones to avoid interfering with parades or major celebrations.
- Event routes and community gatherings will continue as scheduled, with temporary signage and safety personnel if needed.
Transit & Detours: What to Expect
Local public transportation will experience temporary changes:
- Bus detours will be implemented during certain construction phases.
- From June 16–20 and June 23–25, routes may shift to side streets like 2600 S.
- Some usual bus stops may be skipped or relocated during this time.
- Riders should check for updates and temporary signs posted along the routes.
Infrastructure Highlights
This project goes beyond simple road paving. Here are some of the improvements included:
- Storm Drain Systems: Installation of new drainage to prevent flooding and improve runoff control.
- Sidewalks & ADA Ramps: Reconstruction of sidewalks and upgrades to meet ADA standards.
- Multi-use Paths: A new ten-foot-wide path for pedestrians and cyclists along one side of the street.
- Traffic Signal Installation: A new signal will be added at Cordero Dr and 8400 W, improving safety, especially with a new school opening nearby.
How to Stay Informed
Project managers are offering multiple ways for residents to stay informed:
- Weekly updates will be posted online.
- Notifications will be delivered to homes and businesses in advance of any closures.
- Real-time information will be available through public social channels.
- For urgent concerns, residents can call the project hotline or reach out to the engineering team.

Conclusion
This construction project is a much-needed upgrade to one of the area’s busiest streets. It’s designed to improve road safety, enhance drainage, and support future traffic, including buses, pedestrians, and bikes.
Yes, temporary closures will bring some inconvenience, but the long-term benefits—a stronger road, better sidewalks, safer crossings, and an improved look and feel—make it all worthwhile.
Residents and businesses are encouraged to plan ahead, stay flexible, and keep in touch with updates. The community’s cooperation will help make this project a success and ensure that Main Street is ready to serve everyone better for years to come.
FAQ’s
1. Will I be able to get to my home or business during construction?
Yes. Even during closures, local access will be maintained. Crews will provide entry for residents, businesses, and deliveries except during short periods when driveways or sidewalks are being worked on. You’ll receive notice at least 7 days in advance.
2. What should I do if my bus stop is closed or detoured?
During construction (especially June 16–25), bus routes may change, and some stops may be skipped. Look for temporary signs posted nearby, or check for online updates. Alternate stops will be clearly marked, and detour routes will be communicated in advance.
3. Will the construction affect local events or community gatherings?
No. Project planners are coordinating around community events. Special care is being taken to avoid interference with parades, school events, and gatherings. Temporary safety signs and support crews will help ensure everything continues as planned.
