Roadwork is affecting traffic near you

  • Long-term projects: On Green Valley Road, between Trembley Lane and Mesa Verde Ave, there’s a big sewer project happening. It started in February and will go on until January 2025. They’re fixing sewer lines and manholes, which means one lane will be closed from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. They’ll guide traffic around the work, especially during some parts of the project.
