Public works requests nine‑month temporary closure of Vail Road for reconstruction
Summary
Public Works asked the commissioners to approve a planned nine‑month closure of a section of Vail Road SE between 100th Ave and State Route 507 starting April 1; staff described a 3.2‑mile detour estimated to add about seven minutes to travel time.
Karen Wiese, director of Public Works, presented a request to temporarily close a portion of Vail Road Southeast between 100th Avenue and State Route 507 for reconstruction work.
Public Works asked for permission to close the segment for up to nine months between April 1 and July 31, 2027, to allow construction work to proceed. Staff said the extended notice is requested so plans, specifications and estimates can assume the closure and determine how to perform the work.
Wiese described an intended detour route using Vail Road to Bald Hill Road to State Route 507, about 3.2 miles, and estimated the detour would add approximately seven minutes of travel time to a typical trip. Staff said a detour will be signed and in place for the closure period.
The presentation did not include a recorded vote in the transcript excerpt; the item was presented as a request that will require board action at a future meeting.
