Dublin Boulevard will close between Fieler Drive and Mustang Rim Drive starting on Tuesday, May 27 at 7 p.m. and scheduled to last until August 1.
The closure coincides with summer break at Pioneer Technology and Arts Academy (PTAA), minimizing impacts on the school community and Dublin Boulevard travelers. It also allows construction crews to shorten the project duration by six months.
From May 27 to Aug. 1, the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Peterson Road will close, with access limited to Fire Station 21 by authorized personnel only. Mustang Rim Drive will also close north of Dublin Road to Chickasaw Way, but Mustang Rim Drive south of Dublin Road will remain open. During this time, access to the school will be available only from the south, via the Peterson Road / Hawk Wind Boulevard intersection.
Several detour routes will be signed, and alternate routes are advised. The primary detour route is Tutt Boulevard to Stetson Hills Boulevard to Peterson Road to Issaquah Drive south of Dublin Boulevard. A secondary eastbound Dublin Boulevard detour will direct traffic left on Black Forest Road, left on Wolf Ridge Road, left on Templeton Gap Road, right on Tutt Boulevard, right on Woodmen Road and right on Marksheffel Road,
Dublin Boulevard, from Fieler Drive to Marksheffel Road, will be improved from a two-lane road to two lanes in each direction with shoulders. A raised median will be constructed to match other sections of Dublin Boulevard. Additional improvements include a ten-foot multi-use path along both sides of the street, trail connections along Sand Creek and a new traffic signal at Issaquah Drive. Drainage upgrades include storm sewer pipes, inlets and water quality structures.
