Traffic Impacts
Phase 1: Otterdale Road is anticipated to be closed to traffic during construction. Phase 1 Horsepen Creek is open ahead of schedule.
Phase 2: Weather permitting, the Phase 2 Blackman Creek Detour is currently scheduled to open the evening of Tuesday, May 9, 2023.
Phase 3: Otterdale Branch Detour is expected to begin the morning of Thursday, May 11, 2023, through early December 2023.
Please note: The Blackman Creek Crossing will be opened prior to the closure of Otterdale Branch regardless of date changes so that access to all properties along Otterdale Road and Duval Road will be maintained at all times.
The link to the Phase 3 Detour route graphic can be found on the contractor's website along with weekly updates.
Project Timeline
Construction began March 2022 and the construction of all three crossings is anticipated to be complete May 2024.
