Oak Hill Parkway Newsletter

As we enter fall, the Oak Hill Parkway team continues to make improvements along US 290 and SH 71. Drivers should expect construction to continue at various times, as we check milestones off the list and move closer to project completion.

The Scenic Brook Drive cross-street bridge is scheduled to open as early as Friday, Oct. 4. This milestone opening will restore cross-street access to Scenic Brook Drive. The temporary U-turns near Scenic Brook Drive will close and the free-flowing right turn from Scenic Brook Drive to westbound US 290 will become a right/through lane.As early as mid-late October, we will shift lanes to the US 290 frontage roads between Convict Hill Road and Scenic Brook Drive. RM 1826 will become a right in/right out to the eastbound US 290 frontage road with a new temporary U-turn installed prior to Convict Hill Road. This will give our hardworking crews the space to construct the RM 1826 cross-street bridge along US 290.As early as late November, the eastbound and westbound US 290 frontage roads will open between Circle Drive/South View Road and Scenic Brook Drive. All traffic will shift to the frontage roads in this area.
The temporary traffic signal at Thunderbird Road and US 290 will be removed. For access to Circle Drive/South View Road, eastbound US 290 drivers will make a non-signalized U-turn at Scenic Brook Drive.Save the Date: Drumroll please! The Oak Hill Parkway team is looking forward to hosting its second Touch-a-Truck event in December. This family-friendly, hands-on event will showcase a variety of construction equipment used to build Oak Hill Parkway.
