SWLRT Project Road Closures and Detours

Beginning early Monday, Aug. 17, Southwest LRT construction includes setting bridge beams with large cranes along Prairie Center Drive, between Technology Drive and Singletree Lane. The work is scheduled to take place continuously day and night for approximately four days to minimize the length of time traffic is disrupted.

Road Closures include:

• Ramp from eastbound 212 to Prairie Center Drive will be closed Monday and Tuesday
• Eastbound Prairie Center Drive will be closed for up to four days
• Technology Drive from Prairie Center Drive to the Southwest Station entrance will be closed in both directions for up to four days

Northbound Prairie Center Drive will remain open. Message boards and other signage will detour traffic. Click here to see the road closure maps. More details about this project are available at SWLRT.org.
