Open House Planned for Woodbury Drive Expansion Project
Washington County will expand the roadway from two lanes to four from Park Crossing south to Saint Ambrose this year.
Washington County has announced an open house for the Woodbury Drive construction project, which is scheduled to begin this month.
Plans call for the roadway to be expanded to four lanes from Park Crossing to a quarter mile south of Bailey Road, with roundabouts at the Lake and Bailey intersections, trails on both sides of the street, narrower shoulders and lanes, and about $1 million in landscaping work.
The $13.3 million roadwork project has encountered challenges because of the narrow right-of-way in the area.

The open house is set for 4:30-6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 4, at the Eagle Valley Golf Course clubhouse. The public will be able to view construction plans, detour maps and the project schedule, according to a release from Washington County.
No formal presentation is scheduled, but project staff will be on hand to answer questions.

At this point, the project is set to be broken into three phases. According to the release:
Phase I
April through July. Road construction on Woodbury Drive from just south of Park Crossing/Eagle Valley Drive through Lake Road. The intersection of Woodbury Drive and Lake Road will be closed to all traffic, and detours will be in effect.
Phase II
August through November. Road construction on Woodbury Drive just south of Lake Road through Bailey Road. The intersection of Woodbury Drive and Bailey Road will be closed to all traffic and detours will be in effect.
Phase III
October through January. Installation of water re-use systems that will capture and re-use stormwater run-off for irrigation of the Eagle Valley and Prestwick golf courses.
Washington County has set up a website for the project. Residents can also get information from Jane Krebsbach, Washington County project manager, who can be reached at 651-430-4330.
