Meeting on Woodbury Drive Expansion Set for Thursday

A public meeting on the Woodbury Drive expansion project is set for 1 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 2, in the Birch conference room at .

Washington County is planning to expand the roadway from two lanes to four from Park Crossing to a quarter mile south of Bailey Road. Roundabouts are planned at the Lake and Bailey roads intersections.

The improvements also include concrete curb and gutter, storm sewer, and turn lanes where appropriate.

The meeting is primarily for the 16 property owners who may be assessed for the project. However, any interested citizen can attend and ask questions. If the project proceeds, there will be at least one more neighborhood meeting before construction begins.

The purpose of the meeting is to share the status of planning and design activities, according to a release from the city. Because of the limited number of property owners affected, no formal presentation will be given. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and comment on the project.

Construction is expected to begin in spring 2013, with substantial completion (open to traffic) scheduled in late fall 2013.
