The Roberts Road and Forest Avenue drainage improvement project is proceeding on schedule, and the contractor is installing new storm structures and pipe. The next step in the project is the installation of a new manhole to connect the new storm pipe to an existing branch on Forest Avenue. This manhole will be installed in the center of Forest Avenue, which requires a detour to allow room for the excavation.

DETOUR
Forest Avenue will be closed to through traffic at Roberts Road and Collier Rd. The detour will be in place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday January 25, Tuesday January 26, and Wednesday, January 27.

Access for residents and deliveries will be maintained. Flagmen will be stationed at the closures to allow local traffic to pass. The detour route will use Locust Lane and Collier Road. Detour signage will be in place to guide traffic through this route.

This work may be delayed due to inclement weather, and any necessary schedule updates will be posted to message boards on Roberts Road and to Engage Fairfax.
