🚧 Road Closure Update: Lake Hills Boulevard 🚧 The closure of Lake Hills Blvd between 151st Ave SE and 154th Ave SE has been extended until Oct. 1.

During construction on the Kelsey Creek Culvert Replacement Project, crews encountered unexpected construction challenges that require additional time to safely complete the work.

Detours will remain in place for:
· Road traffic
· Lake to Lake Trail
· Sidewalk
· Crosswalk

We know this extension may be inconvenient, and we sincerely appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we complete this important project to replace aging infrastructure and reduce long-term flood risk.
