After over 4 months of work, Level Grove Road is back open to traffic, just in time for Thanksgiving weekend.
The road first closed in mid-July to continue installing sidewalks along Level Grove, and the project was only supposed to take 3-4 weeks. But when construction crews found unmapped water and sewer lines under the road, it became a much bigger project than just adding sidewalks.

It was a months-long endeavor to trace those water and sewer lines. The city had to determine whether or not each line was active, and those that were not active had to be capped.
The process has been frustrating for everyone involved, like commuters whose routes have been interrupted, businesses who have lost clients, residents who have dealt with construction outside their homes and apartments, and the construction workers and city officials who have taken the brunt of citizens’ complaints.
Now that the water and sewer lines have finally been taken care of, the sidewalk project can finish up. While there will continue to be some work on the road as crews finish up that initial project, the road will remain open.
