On Tuesday, April 28, the Board of County Commissioners approved the developer’s request to extend the closure of SW River Road between SW Davis Road and SW Rosedale Road. The 25-day extension is needed to provide additional time and resources to complete the utility work required in the roadway.

The closure was necessary to allow the installation of a 21-inch-diameter sanitary sewer line for the Witch Hazel Village South development.

The Board has extended the River Road closure through April 29 to allow time to review whether additional action is necessary before reopening. The closure has not ended as planned due to the developer encountering several unforeseen issues that required extra time, coordination, and resources to resolve, delaying the remaining work needed to safely restore full travel lanes.

On Tuesday, April 28, the Board will consider the developer’s request to either extend the closure to May 19 or, alternatively, to continue work with traffic flagging in place.

Community members may submit public comment to the Board either:

• By written comment: Washington County - Document Center

• In person at a Board of Commissioners meeting: BOC Public Testimony Sign-Up | Washington County Forms

Once the remaining work is complete, River Road will safely be reopened with two full lanes of travel.
