Construction Traffic & Traffic Pattern Changes

1. The City of Reading recently contracted with W.E. Smith for a project on Hunt Road to install a pier to fix an issue where the sidewalk is sliding eventually down into the adjacent creek. The project is scheduled to begin in early June and will take approximately two months to complete. For the safety of all involved, and to get the necessary work completed as quickly as possible, the section of Hunt Road between Fuhrman Road and Waxwing Drive will be closed completely for the duration of the project. The sidewalk will also be closed. We wanted to give all advance notice of this project so you may plan ahead any changes in your routes. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone's patience during the project.

2. Reading and Columbia - After reviewing the intersection at Reading and Columbia with traffic engineers, there will be a change in the West Bound Traffic on Columbia. The right lane will be right only and the left lane will be straight and left turns. There will be signange added warning of the upcoming change. This will go into effect this summer.

3. Hunt and Columbia - After receiving numerous complaints and again reviewing with our traffic engineers, police chief, fire chief, and chief of public works, there will no longer be a left turn permitted from Hunt Road onto Columbia. This change will also go into effect this summer.

4. Maple Drive - Maple Drive water main and road repair will begin approximately at the beginning of July. Final completion (final paving) will be spring of 2025.
