Beginning Monday, Ustick Road will close between Ten Mile Road and Linder Road as work begins on ACHD’s Ustick Road, Ten Mile to Linder project.
During the closure, commuters should use McMillan Road to the north or Cherry Lane to the south to get around the closure (see detour map). Local access will be maintained for residents along the corridor.
The closure is expected to last until summer 2026.
The work is part of ACHD's Ustick, Ten Mile to Linder project. Once complete, Ustick Road will be widened to five travel lanes, and a new traffic signal will be installed at Ustick Road and Towerbridge Way. The project also includes constructing ten-foot multi-use pathways on either side of Ustick Road, along with other improvements.
