The City is responsible for the next phase of construction on Winchester Road. This phase contains 2.25 miles of new five-lane roadway to connect to the recently completed portion constructed by the County. The right-of-way acquisition is scheduled to be completed by the end of December 2023. Construction is estimated to begin June 2024, pending utility relocations.

Weather permitting, one lane of Governors Drive (adjacent to the median) from Memorial Parkway to Clinton Avenue will be temporarily closed from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day for road and landscaping improvements. This project is estimated to continue through the end of September.
Two lanes of Governors Drive will always remain open. Traffic control devices will be in place to assist motorists. Please reduce speed and use caution in the work area.

The design and right-of-way acquisition are approximately 95% complete for the project.
The City approved a funding agreement Dec. 16, 2021, to use Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) funds for utility relocations as part of the future Northern Bypass. The estimated cost of the relocations is $7 million.
The funding consists of 80% federal funds with a 20% local match. These funds, along with the $30 million approved at the Dec. 2 City Council meeting, will allow the remaining phases of the project to move forward.
The road construction contract will be bid in 2023, and utility relocations will be concurrent with construction. The estimated construction time is three years and will include 1 mile of road improvements along U.S. 231 (Memorial Parkway) to accommodate the new intersection.
Updated July 21, 2023
The project is substantially complete, and all lanes are open to traffic. Punch-list work is ongoing.
