West Roberts Road Temporary Closure Begins Oct. 22
The intersection of West Roberts Road and Pine Forest Road will be closed to through traffic beginning Thursday, Oct. 22, as crews perform work in preparation for the final phase of the West Roberts Road Roadway and Drainage Improvements Project.
Traffic on Pine Forest Road will be detoured to Stefani Road and Green Hills Road. The intersection is expected to reopen Monday, Oct. 26 weather permitting.
The following closures and detours will also remain in place for the duration of the project:
- Intermittent lane closures along West Roberts Road
- Detours along Kingsfield Road, Stallion Road, and Tate Road
Traffic lanes will be reopened on West Roberts Road and Pine Forest Road upon completion of this phase of work. Drivers traveling on West Roberts Road should use extra caution and follow road crew instructions and posted signs when traveling through the work zone.
The West Roberts Road Roadway and Drainage Improvements Project is expected to be completed by winter 2026, weather and construction coordination permitting.
Residents, pedestrians, local traffic and emergency vehicles will have access to properties within the work area at all times; however, there may be short periods when a driveway or entrance may be blocked temporarily as equipment and materials are moved during construction.
The public's patience is appreciated as crews work diligently to complete this project as soon as possible. If other roadway closures are necessary or work is delayed, another notice will be issued.
