Roadwork is affecting traffic near you

  • Long-term projects: Construction is happening at Maxwell Road and Prairie Road, and east along Maxwell Road up to the overpass bridge. Crews are building new sidewalks to connect the River Road and Bethel neighborhoods, linking to a new sidewalk on Highway 99 at Prairie Road. Eastbound Maxwell Road is closed at Prairie Road. Drivers should use other routes like Beltline to NW Expressway, Beltline to River Road, or Chambers Road to River Road. When finished, the project will have new sidewalks and a new railroad crossing.
