SR-68 Update

Work for the coming week: 

Storm Drain 

  • Crews will continue working on the installation of the storm drain.  Crews are currently just south of Grandview Blvd. 

Pedestrian Trail 

  • The trail on Redwood Road adjacent to the Saratoga Springs development is closed from the north end of the development to Lakeview Terrace.  The existing trail has been removed and a new trail will be built on the remaining HOA property a little to the east.
    • Crews have started work on the trail. 

Paving Operation from Grandview to Pelican Point 

  • The milling and paving on the road between Grandview and Pelican Point is finished, except for a small portion that will have to be paved once the storm drain is fully installed.
  • The installation of a two-foot shoulder between Grandview and Pelican Point is finished.
  • A microsurface layer, for skid resistance, will be added the week of August 30th.
  • The striping on the road is just temporary.  After the microsurface is added the final striping will be painted on the road, which will include turn lanes. 

Roadway Reconstruction from Grandview to 400 South 

  • From 400 South to a little north of Grandview Blvd. crews will continue working on the east side of the road.
    • Crews will begin paving this Monday, August 23rd.  Paving will take approximately 4-5 days.
    • After the paving is complete temporary striping will be added to the road.  The final striping will be added when both sides of the road are finished.
    • Traffic will be switched to the new road the end of next week or beginning of the following week.
  • A concrete barrier has been placed in the reconstruction area for driver safety during construction. 
  • Parkway Blvd. remains closed while crews work on the road.  HOA traffic may use the north entrance and 400 South to access SR-68. 
  • Crews have been working on the installation of the curb and gutter at Parkway Blvd.   

Landscaping 

  • Work is starting on restoring the berm and placement of the decorative wall. 

*Crews will be working this Saturday. 

Other items to be aware of: 

  • Utility work is being done on the west side of the road relocating a gas line.
  • The Saratoga Springs HOA will be closing their access roads onto Redwood Road at various times during construction.  This is something the HOA has opted to do on their own since they own the roads in the development.   
  • A wall will be placed next to the trail and its height will vary depending on the location.  The wall will begin at the north end of the development and will end approximately 500 feet north of Grandview Blvd.  The wall is part of the mitigation agreed to by the adjacent residents and HOA in lieu of a 6-foot noise wall being placed directly on the Right of Way line.  Additional landscaping will be added by the HOA behind the wall at a later date.
  • The flooding recently experienced is a result of major storms.  Once the roadway is raised and the drainage system is fully in place, no flooding of SR-68 is expected. 

*Schedule is subject to change.  Please be alert and follow the direction of signs and the construction workers.
