Upcoming restrictions on Combs Road to expand sewer infrastructure
Posted
Independent Newsmedia
Beginning Feb. 17, there will be lane restrictions and shoulder closures in the area of Combs Road and Gantzel for the installation of a new sewer line.
The project is being completed in four phases that will occur simultaneously to mitigate the effect on area traffic and to complete construction in the shortest possible amount of time, according to a release.
The project is anticipated to take approximately three months to complete; however the restrictions with the most impact are being expedited, the release states.
To help reduce the inconveniences of traffic restrictions associated with infrastructure improvements, instead of working through the Combs and Gantzel intersection, the project will bore under it. This phase of the project, along with the restrictions on Combs from ALA to AutoZone, will also be expedited, lasting approximately 30 days.
An additional effort to help reduce the impact to motorists includes limiting the Gantzel lane restrictions at Pecan Creek Drive to off peak hours (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.). These restrictions will occur later in the project and will also be expedited, lasting approximately three weeks.
All four phases will maintain one lane of travel in each direction. In addition to the lane restrictions and shoulder closures detailed below, there will be left turn restrictions in select areas: no left turns from Combs to Gantzel; left turns from Combs onto Encanterra Drive; left turns from the Fry’s plaza onto Combs will be limited to the western driveway and left turns from Combs into the Fry’s plaza will also be limited to the western driveway.
No turning restrictions are planned at Painted Desert Drive, Pecan Creek Drive and Kenworthy Road. Left turns from Encanterra Drive onto Combs will not be restricted.
Allow extra time for travel during construction, be extra courteous and use alternate routes, when possible, the release states.
