The project will be completed in two phases, with work initially beginning between Whites Road and Parkview Avenue. This phase of the project is expected to last from April 27 - May 28. The second phase of the project is expected to begin immediately after and be completed in October. Work will proceed north on Oakland Drive from the Whites/Oakland intersection.
Detours will be posted and will differ for each phase of construction. Access to homes and businesses will be maintained, including access to Oakwood Plaza.
