A temporary three-way intersection has been constructed at the intersection of N. Park Lane and Falcon Road. Con-
crete barriers are in place to restrict drivers to one lane of traffic in each direction. Traffic signals allow for one lane
of vehicles to pass through the intersection at a time. ODOT Resident Engineer Will Nedbalek asks drivers to take
extra precautions and slow down and read the signs during construction. Contractors are building a four-lane road
from Falcon to Tamarack, and are also rebuilding the roadway box underneath N. Park Lane. The project, awarded
to Duit Const. Co, Inc./ TTK Const. Co. of Edmond, will also include intersection modifications and street signals
at Falcon and N. Park Lane. In total the proiect costs $4,671,931.62 and could tal up to 240 days to completion.
