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.
