Posted 9/22/2021: North Green Hills Road from Platte Brooke to Shore Drive is currently closed. We are evaluating options to enable our contractor to work on the north end of the project from NW 76th Terrace to NW 78th Street in the near future.

Updated, 5/7/21: Read the latest project update newsletter.  Beginning Monday, the closed section of N. Green HiIls will extend further south to just north of NW 73rd Street. 

Posted, 4/12/21: Project staff are working with the contractor to address traffic and speeding concerns along detour routes in the Platte Brooke North neighborhood. We will be taking the following action steps to help mitigate concerns:  

• Deploying changeable message boards early next week to ask motorists to slow down at both ends of P NW Platte Brooke Drive;
• Installing radar speed limit signs at or near 4106 NW Platte Brooke Drive for both directions;
• Installing a pair of temporary rumble strip tape at the both ends of NW Platte Brooke Drive

Green Hills Road from Shore Drive to Platte Brooke Drive from approximately January 4th to March 15th. These dates are subject to change due to unforeseen conditions and is weather permitting.

The intersections of Shore Drive and Platte Brooke Drive will still be accessible for local traffic. Drivers will access Shore Drive from the north and Platte Brooke Drive from the south. All emergency vehicles will have access to the area.
