Southwest Raintree Parkway Spillway Bridge Set to Close Monday, August 25

Update as of 12/5/25: The Southwest Raintree Parkway spillway bridge is now open. The sidewalk remains closed and some lane drops are possible through next week. The contractor expects all work to be completed by the end of next week.

The Southwest Raintree Parkway spillway bridge is set to close on Monday, Aug. 25, and will remain closed for approximately four months. Southwest Raintree Parkway will be closed between Southwest Tiller Court and Southwest Green Teal. Drivers will need to use an alternate route.

This project will repair the roadway bridge deck, and structural supports, for the segment of Southwest Raintree Parkway that passes over the spillway on the Raintree Lake Dam.
