Douglas County’s Oct. 23 construction notice called for Pine Drive to close to through traffic between Ponderosa Drive and Lincoln Avenue as early as Oct. 26. Crews needed to install a 96-inch drainage pipe beneath the road.
The county estimated about two weeks of closures, with Sunday access restored during that period. Its detour used Ponderosa Drive, Parker Road and Lincoln Avenue. Access to nearby properties and emergency vehicles was to remain available.
The drainage work belongs to a $13,218,000 county-funded project adding travel lanes, traffic signals and intersection improvements along Pine Drive and Pine Lane. The announcement targeted late summer 2027 for the broader project’s completion; it did not establish a final completion date for every construction phase.
