City of Derby News Release
Construction Narrows Rock Road to Two Lanes of Traffic
September 6, 2007
Beginning Monday, September 10, Rock Road between Meadowlark Blvd. and Patriot Ave. (63rd Street) will be narrowed to two lanes of traffic. Left turns from Rock Road will be prohibited at most locations.
During the course of the project, which began on August 13, 2007 and is expected to last more than a year, Rock Road will be improved from James Street north to Patriot Avenue. The portion of the project between James St. and Meadowlark Blvd. will be reconfigured to provide a five-lane section with a continuous left turn lane. The majority of this work will be accomplished between the existing curbs with limited effect on traffic.
Rock Road between Meadowlark Blvd. and Patriot Ave. will be completely reconstructed to an urban section with storm sewers, curbs and gutters. The construction in this area will provide a minimum of five lanes, including a continuous left turn lane. The traffic signals at Meadowlark will be reconfigured, and new signals will be installed at Tall Tree Rd.
Construction has begun on the west side with the existing northbound lanes being used to carry traffic. After the west side improvements are complete, traffic will be moved to the newly constructed pavement while the east side is constructed. Three lanes of traffic, including a continuous left turn lane, will be provided during this phase of construction.
