Road Construction

Blackman Rd

Expected Date of Completion: 7-31-2010

Battlefield Rd between Woodstock Avenue and Blackman Rd is closed. Woodstock will be open to traffic, but no through traffic will be allowed east of Woodstock. Closure is due to road fill being placed in the area as well as a 36 in. CU water main. Road work is part of the final phase of improvements on Blackman Road from Sunshine Street to Battlefield Road. Motorists are asked to avoid the area and plan alternate routes.

Contractor is also placing gas line along the west side of Blackman Road, north of Battlefield Road. Although this work is being done off of the roadway, drivers are asked to use caution when driving through the work zone.

During the final phase of this improvement, Blackman will be widened to three lanes between Farm Road 156 (Sunset Street) and Battlefield Road, with curb and gutter, stormwater improvements and new sidewalks. The entire project is expected to take 10 months to complete (weather permitting). Construction is undertaken in conjunction with the construction of the Jack Henry & Associates, Inc., campus at the northeast corner of Blackman and Battlefield.
