Current Status

Beginning on June 9, 2025, Walpole Street will permanently close, and construction will continue on the bypass road between the North Landing River and Margaret Drive/Meadow Crest Way. Crews are now working on excavation and grading, storm drainpipe installation, and road construction between Orchard Hill Lane and the North Landing River.

Project Overview

The Elbow Road Extended Phase II-B & II-C project will realign Elbow Road into a four-lane section extending from Salem Road to Stumpy Lake. The project includes relocating the Elbow Road and Indian River Road intersection and providing alternative access for adjacent commercial, residential, and recreational areas. 

A key feature of the project is the replacement of the existing 20-foot bridge over the North Landing River with a new 1,050-foot bridge that spans the wetlands and the 100-year floodplain. The new roadway will have a posted speed limit of 45 mph.
