Stafford Road improvements update, August 2025

The Childs Road/Stafford Road intersection remains closed to traffic, and the Johnson Road/Stafford Road intersection remains open to traffic. Stafford Road is scheduled to open to traffic on October 1.  Construction work is progressing on schedule. We are continuing the second phase of construction which requires closing the intersection of Childs Road and Stafford Road, and Stafford Road between Johnson Road and Rosemont Road. Stafford Road is scheduled to open to traffic on October 1.
Construction expectations – August Crews are realigning the Childs Road intersection and constructing the new Pecan Creek culvert, retaining walls, and embankment for the new roundabout. Johnson Road intersection (looking south).  Crews removed trees and moved and graded soil to realign the Johnson Road intersection. The road was paved, striped and opened to traffic on July 15.
Childs Road intersection (looking east).  Work is continuing at the intersection of Childs Road and Stafford Road. Crews are constructing the new fish-passable culvert, placing embankment for the widened intersection, and constructing retaining walls for the new roundabout.
Respect the closure for your safety Road closures are needed for the safety of the traveling public and construction workers. Entering a road closure area is unsafe and illegal.
Due to the steep terrain on Stafford Road and the unsafe conditions it would create for construction workers, and to shorten the project’s time span, please remember road closure areas are closed to all traffic, including bicyclists. 
Thank you in advance for your patience as we work to complete this project as quickly and safely as possible.
Follow the detour route There will be one signed detour route for truck and passenger vehicles along I-205, I-5, Boones Ferry Road, County Club Road. See the map below. We understand there may be other unsigned detour routes available depending on the time of day and your destination. Please use caution near the work zone.
