Sections of Southwest Pryor Road Set to Close Monday, June 30

Sections of Southwest Pryor Road Set to Close Monday, June 30

Sections of Southwest Pryor Road between Southwest Longview and Southwest Scherer roads and between Southwest Scherer and Southwest Hook roads are set to close on Monday, June 30, 2025, and will remain closed until Spring 2026. The detour route includes Southwest Longview Road, Southwest Ward Road, and Southwest Hook Road. The closures are necessary for roadway improvements.

Eastbound and westbound Southwest Scherer Road will remain open through the Southwest Pryor Road intersection; however, the intersection will close later this year for reconstruction. A separate notice will be sent prior to its closure.

The Pryor Road Improvements project started in March 2025 with tree clearing activities and ongoing utility relocations, and a public meeting was held in early April 2025 with the City’s contractor Clarkson Construction Company. Project improvements include roadway widening to two lanes in each direction with curb and gutter and enclosed storm drainage, additional turn lanes and signal improvements, a divided median, improved roadway lighting, added pedestrian and cycling features such as continuous sidewalk and multiuse path, utility relocations, and access management modifications. Project updates and information can be found on the project page: https://cityofls.net/pryor-road.
