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 throughout the project.

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 - almost complete, crews will need to return at a later date to pave the surface course (top layer) of asphalt. More information will be provided as work is scheduled.

Phase 2 Improvements (February 2026 through June 2026): Val Vista Drive (east side) from US60 Freeway to Southern Avenue, and Southern Avenue east of Val Vista Drive:

• Roadway widening, Val Vista Drive (eastside), Hampton Avenue to Southern Avenue is on-going. 
• Sidewalk, curb, gutter, and driveway improvements in some locations are on-going. 
• Gas main improvements and electrical improvements for streetlights and traffic signals are on-going. These improvements have taken a little longer than we've liked due to existing utility conflicts. We are working through the conflicts and continuing with improvements.   
• Sewer improvements (night/day work), Val Vista Drive, Broadway Road to Baseline Road for repairing, cleaning and lining the existing sewer main and rehabilitating selected sewer manholes:
  • Sewer improvements are complete in Val Vista Drive between Enid and the US60 Freeway.
  • Crews are almost complete with sewer rehabilitation south of the US60 to Baseline Rd (day and night work). The temporary sewer bypass system has been removed, and crews have begun driveway and landscape restoration. All barricades on Val Vista Drive, south of the US 60 Freeway will be removed by 5/22/26.
  • Crews will return at a later date to install traffic loops at Inverness. This task will be complete with little to no disturbance to traffic.  
• Asphalt removal, lime treatment, and asphalt replacement (base course/bottom layer).
  • Crews completed milling operations (removal of existing asphalt) on Val Vista Drive, south of Hampton Avenue to US60 Freeway and north of Southern Avenue. Crews are preparing the roadway for the upcoming lime treatment application and asphalt paving (bottom layer of asphalt).  

Future Side Street Closures:

5/29/26 - Enid Ave. (east side) at Val Vista Dr. is open, but the contractor will return to perform final lift of asphalt.

To be determined - Hampton Ave. (east side) at Val Vista Dr. to remove and replace corner ramps, valley gutter, and aprons. This closure will also include electrical and roadway improvements.
