Intersection of Northwest Ward Road and Northwest Blue Parkway Set to Close on Friday, Feb. 13

The intersection of Northwest Ward Road and Northwest Blue Parkway is set to close on Friday, Feb. 13, and will remain closed until approximately the end of June. A section of Northwest Blue Parkway between Northwest Executive Way and Northwest Ward Road also will be closed. The closures are necessary for the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Northwest Ward Road and Northwest Blue Parkway as part of the Ward Road Improvements project.

The detour route includes Northwest Executive Way, Northwest O’Brien Road, Northwest Main Street, and Southwest Second Street.

After construction of the roundabout is completed, Northwest Blue Parkway will reopen; however, sections of Northwest Ward Road will close for continued construction. Construction is expected to be complete in Fall 2026.

The Ward Road project will improve Northwest Ward Road from Northwest O’Brien Road to Northwest Blue Parkway and includes roadway reconstruction to a two-lane section, one in each direction, with bicycle lanes and sidewalks along both sides. Other improvements include curb and gutter, enclosed storm drainage, intersection improvements, continuous street lighting, new waterline infrastructure and associated utility relocations. For more information about the project, visit cityofLS.net/Ward or contact the Public Works Department at publicworks@cityofls.net or 816.969.1800.
