UPDATE (July 14): This change in traffic control for the Browning project has been delayed until the morning of Monday, July 24.
Starting Monday, July 17, Bayer Construction will begin Phase 2 of the concrete maintenance project on Browning Avenue. This will be the second phase to replace concrete pavement on the roadway surface, as well as install new curbs and gutters. The estimate is approximately 4 weeks to complete this phase, depending on weather, with the closed intersection set to reopen by August 14.
During this phase, the portion of the roadway currently under construction will be reopened to traffic, but only for trips heading north to Marlatt Avenue.
The intersection of Browning Avenue at Lawrence Road/Snowbird Drive will be CLOSED so that the intersection and connecting legs can be reconstructed. North-south access through this intersection will be restored in time for school.
Access to Via Christi Village, Susan B. Anthony Middle School, Anthony Recreation Center, and the residential neighborhoods east of Browning must all be from the north via Marlatt Avenue during this phase. For Via Christi Village and the eastern neighborhoods, access will be via Willow Grove Road.
The Pecanwood Drive intersection at Browning Avenue will remain closed at the outset of Phase 2 as work is completed there. Work on other side streets and restorations is anticipated to continue into September, but the mainline movement for Browning Avenue will stay open once school starts.
Neighborhoods southeast of the project area that are served by Snowbird Drive will not have access to Browning/Snowbird intersection until mid-September. Those areas instead will access Kimball Avenue and College Avenue via Hillview Drive.
Pedestrian access along only one side of Browning will continue to be maintained during construction. Pedestrians are reminded to follow all signage and cross Browning Avenue only in the locations that will be designated.
