Westgate Drive Improvement Project

Whew that went fast! We have 99% of the east and westbound paving installed, and all north and southbound concrete paving as well. The contractor is currently working on installing the streetlights throughout the project. Once these are installed, we will be making preparations to hopefully open an east and westbound lane by the end of the month. Although we will not be complete with the project, our goal is to allow local traffic to begin utilizing the improvements for access and convenience.

Boom! The waterline is completed and tied into the existing system. All west and eastbound paving is installed, with the exception of one small piece on the eastbound side of Westgate Dr. Additionally, we still have the southbound lane to pave and then all paving will be complete.

And just like that, we have installed the majority of the drainage system! We have also begun installing the proposed waterline near the high school. Additionally, we have placed a substantial portion of the concrete paving on the south side of the road.

We are well underway! we have installed almost half of the proposed drainage system and are soon going to be gearing up for the waterline installation near the new High School. Stay tuned for more updates and please feel free to ask all your questions at Ask the Project Manager

It's official... This project is underway! The contractor has mobilized equipment and begun clearing out all vegetation and debris. In the coming weeks you will see the area start to take shape with them balancing the grade in preparation for utility work. DME has been actively working to relocate some of their facilities that were found to be in conflict with the proposed improvements.
