October construction update
This multi-year project continues to make great progress as we replace aging underground infrastructure. With the major underground work nearing completion, we are one step closer to the final result: a modernized roadway that improves functionality for drivers, pedestrians, businesses, and future employment growth in the area.
What’s next?
Governors Road will be reduced to one-way on or after October 27 for the sanitary sewer installation. Westbound traffic will be maintained. Eastbound traffic will be detoured. We will keep you posted about the timing of this detour.
