Road to close for parking lot project
EDMOND — Beginning Friday, Thomas Drive will be closed to thru traffic at Edmond North High School for two major projects along the roadway. The
closure is expected to last 120 days with cooperative weather.
The first project is the expansion of the parking lot at Edmond North High School. This expansion is taking place over the current roadway. The school district has requested the city close the roadway so the project can be completed by the end of August.
The second project is the realignment and widening of Thomas Drive. The new roadway will loop around the Edmond North High School parking lot to enhance pedestrian and driver safety. Also, the road will be widened to include a center turn lane between Danforth and Covell. This work is anticipated to be completed by mid-November.
Motorists will not be able to drive through the construction area during these projects and will need to use alternate routes.
