Construction Updates  

November 24, 2025

Construction is moving along on the Blue Ridge Road. Crews are working in the median to prepare it for a future traffic shift, which will create the space needed to widen the roadway. They are also milling pavement for upcoming pedestrian refuge islands, completing signal work at Glen Eden Drive, paving along Duraleigh Road, and continuing curb, gutter, and sidewalk installation.

Crews will pause work for the holidays, so no construction activities are scheduled during that time. Work will resume after the holiday break.

October 30, 2025

Crews are scheduled to start paving on Blue Ridge Road, from Duraleigh Road to Glen Eden Drive, on Monday, Nov. 3, weather permitting. We will continue to monitor conditions and adjust the schedule if rain occurs.
