Chipman Road Traffic Changes Set for Aug. 7

Chipman Road Traffic Changes Set for Aug. 7

Changes to local traffic access on Chipman Road between View High Drive and Bent Tree Drive are expected to begin on Wednesday, Aug. 7. The section of Chipman Road from Cedar Creek Lane to just west of the pedestrian bridge will open to local traffic, while the sections of Chipman Road from View High Drive to Cedar Creek Lane and just west of the pedestrian bridge to Bent Tree Drive will close. The new entrance to Cedar Creek Lane is expected to be complete at the same time, and traffic from the Cedar Creek subdivision will be routed through the Edgewood Trail subdivision to View High Drive.

The section of Chipman Road between View High Drive and Cedar Creek Lane is scheduled to take approximately two months to complete. The section of Chipman Road between just west of the pedestrian bridge and Bent Tree Drive is scheduled to take approximately four months to complete.

All work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change.

Construction for the Chipman Road Improvements project began in mid-July 2023, and is expected to continue until late spring 2025. Chipman Road between View High Drive and Bent Tree Drive will remain closed to through traffic for the duration of the project.
