Pryor Road Project Update - Intersection of River Run Drive and Pryor Road Set to Close Week of October 26

Pryor Road Project Update - Intersection of River Run Drive and Pryor Road Set to Close Week of October 26

The intersection of SW River Run Drive and SW Pryor Road is expected to close during the week of Oct. 26, until approximately the end of November. During this closure, school traffic will temporarily use the new SW 26th Terrace connection east of SW Pryor Road to access SW River Run Drive and the school.

The closure is dependent upon completion of the SW 26th Terrace connection east of SW Pryor Road, and could occur as early as Monday, October 26. An updated start date for the closure will be sent when confirmed by the contractor.

The intersection of SW Hook and SW Pryor roads is still currently on track to reopen by mid-November, but work at the SW River Run Drive intersection will continue until approximately the end of November. Then school traffic will access SW River Run Drive and the school from the south.

The overall project is anticipated to be completed in summer 2027. All work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change. For updates, FAQs and more information, visit the City’s project page at https://cityofls.net/pryor-road.
