Stretch of Cedar Avenue to Close Friday Night, Saturday

Cedar between 157th and 161st streets will close at 10 p.m. Friday until 6 p.m. Saturday.

New road work slated for this week:

  • Cedar Avenue between 157th and 161st streets west will close at 10 p.m. Friday and reopen at 6 p.m. Saturday, weather permitting, for paving.
  • 160th Street West will be closed between Granada Avenue and Garrett Path from 10 p.m. Friday to 6 p.m. Saturday.
  • Traffic will be reduced to one lane on northbound Cedar between 153rd and 155th streets from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday for storm sewer installation.

Existing road and lane closures that will continue:

  • Closure of the median at Cedar and 155th until sometime in November. Drivers traveling in either direction on Cedar won't be able to turn left onto 155th/Whitney Drive during that time.
  • Temporary lane and sidewalk closures are possible along Cedar between 138th and 150th streets as private utility companies set up for next year's construction.
  • Closure of sidewalks along both sides of Cedar from 147th to 157th streets.
  • Closure of northbound and southbound lanes of Cedar between 147th Street in Apple Valley and Dodd Boulevard.
  • Closure of the northbound and southbound Apple Valley transit stations at 155th Street West and Cedar, for utility work. Buses will pick up and drop off at the old transit station on Gaslight Lane during this time. Riders still are advised to park in the ramp near the newer stations and walk to the old station. The stations closure is slated to continue through October.
  • For several weeks beginning in mid-September, only one lane of westbound 160th Street West will be open between Garrett Path and Granada Avenue. Only one lane will be open on eastbound 160th between Granada and Cedar, as well. Right turn lanes will be closed, but cars will still be able to turn right from the thru lanes. (Note the complete-closure time under this week's new construction.)
