Project Phasing & Upcoming Street Closures/Restrictions

Please follow signage or use alternate routes as there will be various lane restrictions and intermittent left turn restrictions at both Val Vista Drive/Hampton Avenue and Val Vista Drive/Southern Avenue intersections.

12/15/25 to February 2026 - Phase 1 improvements: Val Vista Drive (westside) from the US60 freeway to Southern Avenue, and Southern Avenue to approximately 600 feet (+/-) west of Val Vista Drive.

  • Crews continue to work on roadway widening, sidewalk, curb and gutter, and driveway upgrades in some locations.

  • Electrical work continues for the new traffic signals and streetlights. A temporary traffic signal trailer will be in place until the new poles and mast arms arrive for installation. Gas main improvements are complete for this phase. 

  • The existing asphalt has been removed and graded within phase one limits. Lime treatment operations will begin 1/13/26 through 1/16/26.

    • Lime treatment is used to stabilize the underlying roadway clay-like soils. The treatment process involves spreading lime over the soil, mixing it in place, compacting it at an appropriate moisture content, curing and testing. The lime treatment improves soil strength and enhances long-term performance of asphalt. Please note it is normal for steam coming from the equipment and expect some odors during the lime treatment process.

  • Paving is anticipated to begin early February, starting with the base course (bottom layer) of asphalt. Crews will return at a later date for the surface course (top layer) application.

 

Hampton Avenue will remain closed until Friday, January 16th, 2026. This will allow the contractor to apply the lime treatment that will stabilize the underlying soils in preparation of paving operations. Please continue to plan ahead for delays and use alternate routes.
