Ranchmen’s Ditch Flood Control Project—25 Road Closure
25 Road will be closed to through traffic immediately south of Patterson Road for approximately two weeks starting Monday. The closure is to allow for utility relocations. Southbound traffic on 25 Road will have to turn right at Patterson and detour to 24 ½ Road and Industrial Avenue. Westbound traffic on Patterson Road can use Northgate Drive, Westgate Drive and Weslo Avenue to access 25 Road. All businesses south of the intersection will remain open.
Work on Phase 3 of the project has started near 24 ½ Road and is progressing east with installation of three 78” storm pipes in the open ditch. Patterson Road will remain open at all times, but there will be traffic shifts and reduced speeds of 25 MPH in the 700-foot long construction zone.

Westbound North Avenue will be narrowed to one lane between 29 ½ and 29 Road for the construction of a deceleration lane.
