Epping Road TIF Project Construction Updates

Epping Road Widening - Continental Drive to Cronin Road

9/19/24: The widening of Epping Road from Continental Drive to Cronin Road is scheduled to begin September 23, 2024.  The project is intended to improve capacity and safety by introducing a center two-way left-turn lane that will provide refuge for vehicles turning into and out of adjacent driveways and side streets. The project is largely in response to growing commercial and residential development along the Epping Road corridor. 

The project includes drainage improvements, roadway widening and the addition of nearly continuous curbed sidewalks along both sides of Epping Road. This is the first phase of a two-phase project that will be completed in summer of 2025. Traffic delays, though unavoidable, will be managed to the extent practicable.

Epping Road and Continental Drive Signalized Intersection

This project has been completed.

10/1/19: The traffic light will be installed at the intersection of Epping Road and Continental Drive this week. The work will take 2-3 days to complete and is weather dependent. There may be alternating one-way traffic at times during this work.

12/6/18: The installation of guardrails will start on December 7th. Work continues on overhead wires. Potentially striping lanes by December 14th. 

Drainage installation continues at the intersection.

Epping Road Water & Sewer Utility Extensions

5/17/19: Final paving is scheduled for early next week and the lane markings will be painted by the end of May. The traffic signal will be installed in late summer.

5/2/19: Water and sewer main installation will be wrapping up next week on Epping Rd. The base will be paved late next week if the weather cooperates. That will be the end of road work here until the final paving is done later this summer. The traffic signal will also be installed in late summer.

4/26/19: Water and sewer main installation will continue on Epping Rd. A majority of the work will be completed by late spring except for the traffic signal which will be installed in late summer.

4/22/19: Water and sewer main installation will continue on Epping Rd. A majority of the work will be completed by late spring except for the traffic signal which will be installed in late summer.
