~ The Dublin Boulevard Improvements project is set to begin next week, causing a temporary road closure on Dublin from Black Forest Road/Shimmering Creek Drive to Peterson Road. The closure will take place for two consecutive nights, starting on Tuesday, April 22 at 8 p.m. and ending at 5:30 a.m. the following morning. The closure will continue on Wednesday, April 23 from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.

According to project officials, these safety closures are necessary in order for crews to move travel lanes into a new temporary alignment and set concrete barriers. To ensure smooth traffic flow during this time, a signed detour route will be in place directing through traffic on Dublin Boulevard to use Tutt Boulevard, Stetson Hills Boulevard and Peterson Road.

Local access will still be available between Tutt Boulevard and Black Forest Road/Shimmering Creek Drive. Once the traffic has been shifted to the new alignment on the road's south side, work will begin near Sand Creek. It is important to note that all movements will still be possible at the Dublin Boulevard/Peterson Road intersection.

The Dublin Boulevard Improvements project zone spans from Fieler Drive to Marksheffel Road and aims to improve the current two-lane road by adding two lanes in each direction with shoulders. Additionally, a raised median will be constructed to match other sections of Dublin Boulevard. Other improvements include a ten-foot multi-use path along both sides of the street, trail connections along Sand Creek, and a new traffic signal at Issaquah Drive.

Drainage upgrades are also part of the project and will include storm sewer pipes, inlets, and water quality structures. The entire project is expected to be completed by late 2026.

However, construction is weather-dependent and may cause changes in the schedule. To stay updated on any road closures or traffic pattern changes, community members can text DUBLIN to 866-762-3640 to receive text alerts. Message boards along the corridor and the project hotline (719-472-3065) will also provide the latest schedule information.
