The Cobbs Creek Parkway Guide Rail Improvement Project has begun, according to an announcement by the Streets Department, and motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling along and through the work area. Temporary “No Parking” signs will also be posted in advance of each scheduled activity.

Day work hours will consist of temporary roadway shoulder and parking lane closures during off-peak between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., within the work area, from the north side of Woodland Avenue to the south side of Springfield Avenue. Night work from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. will also involve the use of temporary roadway shoulder and parking lane closures. Through travel lanes will remain fully open to traffic throughout the project.

The project involves removing and replacement of the old guide rail and concrete curb, as well as other improvements to the Cobbs Creek Parkway corridor between Woodland Avenue and Springfield Avenue. The improvements include installing temporary and permanent pavement markings, replacing cement concrete sidewalk in limited areas, installing new street light foundations and poles, replacing existing street lights with LED lights, and tree trimming.

Construction is expected to be completed by Spring 2023.
