Construction updates

April 2025

Contractors are currently working on curb and sidewalk repairs along Oberlin Road. They have addressed most of the water pooling issues near the bus pads and bike lanes. Additionally, crews are completing other final tasks on the project. This work is expected to be finished by the end of the month.

March 2025

On Friday, March 21, the City’s contractor is scheduled to work on asphalt repairs along sections of Oberlin Road. This work will involve lane closures and flagging operations. 

Crews will be working near the Clark Avenue intersection at First Horizon Bank and across from Harris Teeter between Cameron Street and Smallwood Dr. This work is being completed to address water ponding in sections of the roadway.

February 2025

This project is nearing completion! Contractors are resolving water pooling issues around bus pads and bike lanes. They will start applying thermoplastic pavement markings as temperatures increase. Crews are also finalizing traffic signal installations and signage.

January 2025

The new bike lanes on Oberlin Road are closed to traffic because some areas have water pooling, causing safety concerns, especially with the below-freezing temperatures we have been having. We are working with the contractor to resolve the standing water issues and hope to have the lanes open to the public soon.

Phase details coming soon.
