Road construction

Starting July 14, North 900 Road will be closed between East 1050 Road and East 1100 Road for a bridge replacement project. Access will be maintained for nearby properties. Public Works will provide detailed notification to emergency services.

The existing narrow bridge was built in 1935 and carries vehicles over a tributary to Washington Creek. The project (2022-31) is included in Douglas County’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and is estimated to cost $1 million. The project is expected to take four months, weather permitting.
