To facilitate the earthwork preparation and concrete paving of the westbound Miller Road lanes and the northern segment of Chiesa Road, the contractor will be closing the existing Miller and Chiesa Road intersection on Monday, August 7 for approximately 12 weeks (weather permitting).
Phase 1 (approximately 12 weeks)
- Two-way traffic will flow east and west on Miller Road through the intersection on a temporary asphalt‑paved lane. East and west through‑traffic at the intersection will be given priority.
- Dedicated left‑turn lanes on Miller Road, in both directions, will not be available.
- Eastbound traffic on Miller Road will be unable to turn left onto northbound Chiesa Road because that portion of the intersection will be closed and under construction.
- To maintain through‑traffic and avoid undue traffic delays, westbound traffic on Miller Road will be unable to turn left onto southbound Chiesa Road.
- Eastbound traffic on Miller Road will be able to turn right onto southbound Chiesa Road.
- Northbound traffic on Chiesa Road will only be able to turn left onto westbound Miller Road, or right onto eastbound Miller Road; through‑traffic to continue north on Chiesa Road will be closed.
- Detours for northbound Chiesa Road towards SH 66 will be routed to northbound Dalrock Road. Side street access will be maintained throughout construction on Miller Road between Chiesa and Dalrock Roads for local traffic.
- The traffic signal will be re‑timed accordingly to accommodate the traffic movements described above.
Phase 2 (approximately 12 weeks)
When the westbound lanes of Miller Road and the northern segment of Chiesa Road are completed and opened, the traffic patterns will be flipped to construct the eastbound lanes of Miller Road. Phase 2 closure will also last approximately 12 weeks (weather permitting).
- Two‑way eastbound and westbound traffic on Miller Road will be routed to the new concrete lanes, with through‑traffic at the intersection given the priority.
- Left‑turn prohibitions will remain, but in reverse as described for Phase 1 above.
- Westbound traffic on Miller Road will be able to turn right onto northbound Chiesa.
- Southbound traffic on Chiesa Road will be able to only turn left onto eastbound Miller Road, or right onto westbound Miller; through‑traffic to continue south on Chiesa Road will be closed.
- Detours to Dalrock Road will remain in effect. Local traffic will have access to side streets.
- The traffic signal will be re‑timed accordingly to accommodate the traffic movements described above.
