Here are the details…

On Thursday, January 13th, access to Villacrest Drive West from P.J. Adams Parkway will be temporarily closed to traffic as contractors make improvements at that intersection.

The county expects the Villacrest West / PJ Adams intersection closure to last 3 months, weather dependent.

Residents living on Villacrest West will be detoured and gain access using the Villacrest Drive East intersection, but may also use the signalized intersection at Northview.
